Error Msg - "Run-Time error '-2147417848(80010108)': Automation Error

[Sal]

I have a menu-item which when clicked starts up a browser and goes to the site which the user selected from the appropriate menulist. It works fine in VB6 when I click on the play button, (design time). However, after using the Package & Deployment Wizard, I get the following error message: "Run-Time error '-2147417848(80010108)': Automation Error What in the world is going on. Is it that the browser object is not installing correctly since it works in the VB6 environment? :-( Or is it some code that is creating the problem. I am still new at this, but making great progress. Just ready to get this beta out to some of my testers.

I was under the impression that if you could run the program during the design process without any problems, then you could run it after compiling and packaging with the Deployment Wizard.

email should be on my post,... however it is:

One thing you did not added.
Did you try to deploy on you machine or at the clients place.
Reason may be the browser version is not compatible.
try to install ie4 or above.
or There may be a dll missed will creating setup package

I deployed on my machine. I used the browser form wizard, and just added some websites via the menulist. Don't know how to determine which dll's it should have used.

Any more assistance is much appreciated.

From the KB:

When passing a form to a public procedure of a compiled UserControl, you receive one of the following:

Run-time error '373': This interaction between compiled and design environment components is not supported.

-or-

Run-time error '-2147417848(80010108)': Method 'xxx' failed

CAUSE

Forms and controls are private objects to the Visual Basic project that created them. Therefore, they should not be passed as parameters to procedures outside the project. Although you can work around this error message by adding the UserControl project and the test client project to the same project group, passing forms and controls outside the project that originally created them may have unpredictable side effects and is strongly discouraged.

RESOLUTION
There are two possible resolutions to avoid this behavior:

Do not pass forms or controls outside a project.

Add the UserControl and the client projects to the same project group.
