Method'~' of object '~' failed "

Hi everybody

I have developed a software using VB6, one of my client faced the following error

Run-time error'-2146697208 (800c0008)':
Method'~' of object '~' failed"

I have got some information where MSDN is saying that this error can occure if the MDAC was not properly installed. but my application is not using MDAC, but it is using XMLHTTP30. The error may be due to sending request using XMLHTTP30.

any idea why the application is showing this error message.

thanks in advance

are you sure you have installed all the dll's, ocx, etc required by your app (and in particular the XMLHTTP30 components requirements) on the client machine?

I have recieved a different error message if the dll files ware not properly installed and the error message was

Run-time error '429'
ActiveX component can't create object

can that error [I have specified earlier] be due to improper installation of some dll files?

regards,

Kajol

Hi,

Error 429 usually appears either when a dll is not correctly registered (-> use regsvr32 in command prompt), dll's that are used by this dll are not existing or not correctly registered (-> check / create dependency file ), or in the context of different versions of the dll.

Method'~' of object '~' failed"
this usually happens when dll are not registered. Precisely, when the runtime
is not even able to tell what the object is, and the object is not able to propagate more infos back. It could be any component. It is a mismatched DLL file.

Hi

I get this error but not in a compiled program or when running a program from the VB IDE....

If I click on the VB6 IDE shortcut twice in QUICK succession on my oh-so-low-spec PC at work it gives the same error. So I leave a couple of seconds gap before clicking on shortcut again (click twice cos I'm developing 2 vb dll's and want to open 'em both up).

I had always assumed that is was because my PC has such a low spec that it can't handle opening up multiple VB IDE's at one time....

Well, not that this helps your problem but it may be of interest....

Cheers

This error can occrus when you open VB6 or when you load a new project and that the system lack ressources (memory usually). However, I've never saw this on a compiled EXE, but you might want to check if you destroy all your objects and the like, it may be a problem with memory, in such case you could see it from the memory management
