Run Time error '429'. Active X component

[merlin123]

Using VB6 I have written a small application that uses Access MDB as the database.
Works ok on home machine with VB6 and MS Office installed.

However I wish to use the application on my WIN XP Laptop, which does not have VB6 or Office installed.

I have made an .EXE file. Again this runs on home machine.

When trying to run it on Laptop I get the following.

Run Time error '429'
ActiveX componant cant create object.


No other information given.

Can somebody please give me the laymans explanation as to why this is happening and the fix please. Again in laymans terms

Thank you in anticipation

I moved your thread to here because the FAQ fourum is not meant for questions.

In order for your app to work on another PC you need to install it using some installer like the P&D Wizard.

Thank you for that.
Where can I find this Package & Deploy Wizard for VB6 please.

Is it or should it be on the Toolbar somewhere. Even the MS VB6 Programming book doesnt give much help on deployment.

All I have that nearly resembles it is the Make EXE files under the File tab.

Thank you in anticipation once again.

It is a separate program, and should be on your Start menu near VB itself (it is possible to add a link within VB, but I personally don't see the point).
