This is not VB6.0 section, but i suggest you to use newer version of VB.

why would you get a newer version of VB? that wouldn't help at all.

you need to make sure the computers you're running your executable on has the dependency that you've made use of within your application. the filenames of the dependencies that you can require could be found out by either looking at the extra plugins you've loaded within the VB IDE, or by running the application on another computer and taking note of the filename of the dependency you're missing. for example, MSADODC.OC is most likely a typo of MSADODC.OCX, which is a dependency file for ADO. ADO is used to connect to Access. if you're using Access, anyone using your application needs this dependency. there might also be one for any Excel controls you've placed on your form, too.

then, once you have the filenames, you can take them from your computer and either compile them into your executable (by making a reference file) or bundle them with your application in a zip file so that they can be found on run-time.

either way, like mentioned before -- this isn't the VB section, and I haven't had VB installed for years, so I'm not really willing to help you through anything that I've just described. you probably want to get some help in the VB section of this forum.

Thread moved to the 'Application Deployment' forum, which is where questions about installing/distributing your software belong

You can run the PDW wizard and get all the dependency files you need including the MSADODC.OCX
