It runs fine when I make an EXE and run it on the machine I created the app in.

Made the changes you suggested and get the same error. Here is the code for DBSAR,
I can't find anywhere that is missing anything.

Private Sub cmdclickeditdiagrams_Click()
datPrimaryRS.Recordset.UpdateBatch adAffectAll

Form6.Show
End Sub

Private Sub printform_Click()
Dim i As Integer

Unload Me
End Sub

Private Sub discharge_Click()

  MsgBox "Data error event hit err:" & Description
End Sub

Private Sub datPrimaryRS_MoveComplete(ByVal adReason As ADODB.EventReasonEnum, ByVal pError As ADODB.Error, adStatus As ADODB.EventStatusEnum, ByVal pRecordset As ADODB.Recordset)
  'This will display the current record position for this recordset
  datPrimaryRS.Caption = "Record: " & CStr(datPrimaryRS.Recordset.AbsolutePosition)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdDelete_Click()

  With datPrimaryRS.Recordset
    .Delete

look at your ADO settings, have you used the package and deplyment wizard to distribute?

looks like the worng version of ADO libs or a missing reference install the latest mdac 2.7 on the target machine if a normal setup doesn't help

 

by: rehandPosted on 2003-08-29 at 13:27:36ID: 9251053

It sounds like you are missing a dll, try making an install package for the application and run it on the second machine.

 

by: dragontoothPosted on 2003-08-29 at 14:11:11ID: 9251461

just3082, please do not ask me more questions thru e-mail, I think it is ok if you let me know you have a new question thru e-mail I do not know for sure. It gives me an unfair advantage.  Especially since I have your source code etc.....
You did not post all the source code in that form so the current experts are going to have a hard time finding the problem.

bruintje was correct I think.

Private Sub tbToolBar_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As Button) '<-- here is the error

Private Sub tbToolBar_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)'<--- this is what to do to fix you can also delete the whole sub since it is not used

experts I am sorry

just3082 if this fixes your problem, do not accept this as an answer.

by: just3082Posted on 2003-08-29 at 14:20:57ID: 9251532

I apologize for that, I was just worried and did what I thought would get the quickest answer.

In any event, I can't find the Private Sub tbToolBar_ButtonClick you are referring to.

It is not in DBSAR (Form), Or either I had already removed it.

Thanks,

JamieJ

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2003-08-29 at 14:23:36ID: 9251555

if that solves it then just3082 can accept the comment as answer no probs with me

asking questions through mail is something between expert and questioner but should be done without EE

or

on EE without direct mailing only when it's way to difficult to solve then email can be used

another choice is to ignore mail from users and warn in your profile that you're not going to respond and don't do it :) IT WORKS

 

by: just3082Posted on 2003-08-29 at 14:25:42ID: 9251567

I accepeted bruintje's answer above since installing the latest MDAC solved the issue.

Thanks,

JamieJ

 

by: bruintjePosted on 2003-08-29 at 14:28:11ID: 9251584

if that solve it then thanks for the grade

 

by: dragontoothPosted on 2003-08-29 at 17:22:18ID: 9252445

Good Deal!!

Thanks bruintje! will do.
just3082 you have a hard project still in front of you. I and the others (I am sure) are more than willing to help. I'll be looking when I CAN help.

What do you mean by:
           ' It sounds like you are missing a dll, try making an install package for the application and run it on the second machine'.

I'm having the same problem and the latest version of MDAC did not resolve it.
