Dao350.dll

[David Curran]

I have created a setup App, myself and it works fine. But when i install the program on other computers i'am not sure where to put the Dao350.dll. On my computer it is stored in the C:\Program files\Common files\microsoft shared\dao and other computers haven't got that directory.
Is there a API Call or some way to find out.

------------------

The MS Setup program should know this and is putting the dll into the correct directory.

A problem has come up with my programs which has brought me here. There is a version number conflict with dao.dll. The conflict arises when an end user has Office 97. I downloaded the "supposed" fixed dao.dll for this but now I can't compile my program any longer because I am getting a function permission denied error on my data controls.

VB puts dao.dll in the directory you mention whereas no other program apparently puts it there. The MS fix has you downloading a new dao version and unregistering the existing dao in the directory you mention then re-registering it.

Resolving this problem has been an effort in futility thus far. I have upgraded my Office 97 to service pak 2 and upgraded the Jet database engine thinking that the MS dao fix messed other things up. So far NOT.

Thought I'd mention this to you because you sound like you are about to head down this road.

If anybody else has this problem or has a solution, let me know!

If you are having troubles finding the spot for the dll you could always put it in the directory your program is in.

Windows first checks the Program Path for dll's then they look in the regiestry and then in the system dir i think.

So if you put it in your program dir windows wil find it.
