    Resolved [RESOLVED] Reference problem

    Hi, I've got a vb project that I have working on one computer. We wanted a second computer with the same capabilites so I transfered the files. Obviously, this created some referencing problems, but I fixed them by just creating the reference path vb was looking for. It worked all except for one. It keeps yelling at me that it couldn't created the reference, yet that file path exists. Any ideas of why it can't create it even though the file path it's looking for is there? Thanks.

    Re: Reference problem

    What is the reference? If it is an ocx or dll, maybe that needs to be installed on the machine.

    Otherwise, what operating system? Can you post the error along with the reference entry from your .vbp file? That could help.

    I moved your thread to here where this type of problem is discussed.

    If you use an installer like the P&D Wizard or Inno and create a set of installation files, your problem will probably go away.

    Re: Reference problem

    I would post the reference in the vbp file, but I have no vb6 expereice, so I don't know where to find it. I have limited coding experience, enough that I was able to write a couple new functions to expand the capapbilites of the code, expand the user interface and change which ports the program communicates on. It's trying to reference a vbp file which is right where it says it cannot create the reference to. It's your standard Could not created reference: (file path). The file path exists. As for os, the computer it works on is running XP Pro and the current computer is XP Home. Thanks.
