DataReport - can't deploy

[Andrew Hepburn]

I've written an application in VB6 which uses data reports. The application works fine on any machine which has had VB6 installed on it but on others the data reports generate the error 'invalid data source'.


This same source is successfully used to access the the database elsewhere in the application.


Is this a bug in the package and deployment wizard? I've installed service pack 1 and it doesn't help.


Thanks

You say "on any machine which has had VB6 installed on it". You mean on machines where VB6 is still installed, or where VB6 was installed but later uninstalled, or do you mean 'just the runtime dll's'.

I think (at least it sounds like it), that you miss a dll. This can be cause because that package and deployment wizard can only check the dependencies if a .dep is available. Maybe that's not available, so it cannot check which files are needed (but then you should have seen a warning while creating the package)

Did you use DataEnvironment with your DataReport?
If so make sure that in the connection (in DataEnvironment) properties form the path of the database will be the same in the other machines.

Also, make sure that the mdac_type.exe in ..VB\Wizards\Redist is up to date. This get packaged too using PDW if you don't know already.
