    Re: Activex component can't create object

    do the other machines have the activex installed?
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Re: Activex component can't create object

    as you do not specify what activex you are try to create and do not say if you have installed it with your application, very hard to be able to help

    Re: Activex component can't create object

    What dependencies does your project use? What is checked in the project references window, what is checked in your toolbox (Ctrl+T)? The activeX's must be registered on whatever Win9x machine you are running it on. You can't just copy and paste the ocx/dll to their system folder and expect it to work. #1 below should solve your problems, #2 below is a manual workaround that may need to be handled for every dependency.

    1. Recommend creating a Setup.exe file using VB's Package & Deployment Wizard & having them install via the setup app, or
    2. Telling the owners of the other machine to register the ocx/dll with RegSvr32

    Re: Activex component can't create object

    when do you get the error? when the program starts or on some specific action
    do you have any error handling to help determine where the error occurs
    are you using any instances of createobject

    you may need to write out to a log file at regular intervals to find exactly where the error occurs so you can locate the missing /unregistered ocx or dll
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
