VB5 Program in Windows XP

I have a customer that is using a VB5 program that I have created. This customer now has Windows XP.

The problem I am getting is that, apparently the program cannot create a database object to connect with the database.
Error Number 429

The database is Access 97.

This program has worked fine under Windows 98, and 2000

Did I miss something when I placed the program onto the computer with XP. I just copied and pasted the exe and mdb file over onto the XP computer.

Any and all help appreciated.

Thanks - RGregoire

Hi,

how are you connecting to the database??
does the customer have excel97 on his own pc?

if the aswer to the first question is liberary and the second no, then its easy. you are using a lib that is not on the pc. even if the customer has excel2000 of XP you still need the lib to run the program. Install and register the lib and your program works.

Let me know,

Jewe

Hi RGregoire.

In a few time ago, I've been the same problem. You have to seach in www.microsoft.com for 'VB5cli.exe'.

This program is a pacth to resolv a problem of 'license' for vb5 in somes cases.

I put this file attached in this message.
