Question

My DTS works OK on my local server but...

Asked by: Arien

I am absolutely new to DTS and here is my problem: my DTS (in VB) which I load from storage file works OK on my server. I run the set up on another machine and it seems to work fine, doesn't give me any error massages but it also doesn't make any update of a database. (This machine has VB and SQL server installed.)
Another mashine which doesn't have any of these installed gives me next error: "ActiveX component can't create object"
Do you have any idea what I have to do to make it work. Thanks

The error: "ActiveX component can't create object" is normally to do with registry settings.  There is a dll involved that needs to be re-registered. Reinstall the program may help.

It may actually be a built in limitation of VBA. While VBA allows you to create references to RDO on a development machine that has VB or C++ installed, it actually doesn't allow it to distribute this solution to a customer that does not have these tools installed. If VB or Visual C++ is installed (as in the situation above), it may work on the end user's machine but this solution isn't supported by MS. MS suggests using ODBCDirect & DAO to access the data. The link below connects to a MS Technical document that discusses this problem.

Thanks for the answer, mick2000. App itself works fine and only DTS fails.
How can I find out which dll I have to register? I tried to reinstall app several times. Is there any way to execute DTS on remote server (in VB)?

Yes.

Executing DTS in a remote server ->
Create a Job on the Remote Server to run the DTS package on the local server for the DTS package.

In VB.  Send the start job T-SQL command via ODBC connection information or by isql/osql (command line utilities - reside on sql server)

Job then runs on remote server, local to the server.
