    I am using databound controls data1, etc., and am using the report designer in vb6. the program runs fine; however when trying to display the report on a PC that does not have Vb6 installed I get the error when trying to access the report only: Invalid Data Source.

    The connection is pointing to the correct database and the rest of the program pointing to this same database runs fine .

    Any ideas on what I am missing? I have created a setup file and dependency file to no avail to correct this problem.

    Thanks!!!

    Post invalid data resource

    database was created in access97 and vb6, but the pcs that are running the program only have access2000 installed.

    the program runs it will add and save records to the database; the problem is the data report -- something is missing and when i try to show a data report in the program i get the invalid data source error.

    If vb6 is installed on the pc the data report works fine and the program runs sucessfully.

    I can't figure out what is missing. I don't think it is a library -- it's an actual connection or something.

    It most likely is a library/driver. Install ADO 2.0 on the client to get the driver for Jet 3.51

    you can download it here:
