VBAJet.dll failed to initialize
. The Jet VBA file (VBAJET.dll for 16-bit versions, or VBAJET32.dll for 32-bit versions) failed to initialize when called. Try reinstalling the application that returned the error. (Error 3447)
I have the above error when I installed and run my application in my employer’s machine. All other machines I used to test it worked fine. I copied the file VBAJet32.dll
in c:\windows\system and I still get the same problem.
I use VB5 and Microsoft Access and I must solve this error
to allow my client to use the program.
I need help immediately. Please help.
I reinstalling the application many times but no luck
thank you

I was using VB5 first and I switched VB6, after having some
difficulties I switched back to VB5. I reformatted my hard drive
and I reinstalled Vb5 and an old VB5 version of my application.
The problem with my user's computer is I run the VB6 version of
my application and after that it refused to run my VB5 application any more giving me the above error message.
Now I can't go to my users office and do many tests, because I
am still in college and I don't want to disturb them with many
visits to their office instead I would like to go there with
a clear idea and a solution.
I must tell you that I never programmed more than an academic project
and never in windows environment, Visual Basic and Microsoft
Access. I just learned as I was writing this application.
Now the application is done and it runs Ok with all machines
except the one it matters.
I would appreciate if you kindly be specific and guide me step
by step as a beginner. I would also like a way I create the error
in my machine so that I can fix it before I go to my employers office.
I increased the points and I shall increase more if necessary.
I would like to tell CraigLazer that I don't have the file
expsrv.dll in my computer and in my laptop but the program runs Ok in both computers.
In my laptop, I don't even have VBAjet32.dll. What is going on?
On the other hand why do I need VBA5jet32.dll is it for MS jet engine. I am not doing any VBA programming.
I downloaded Filemonitor but all I can see is processes and
unfortunately, my program never dies even when I exit it.
I am very sorry for the may questions, but I hope the I shall
learn a lot in this question and you will understand my frustration.
Thank you.

Hi Yassin
Let me see if I understand this correctly .
You have an app which is created in vb5 and it sounds like you ar connecting to an access database . The app however does not work on your employers PC . If this is so then what you can also try is try to pin point were the error comes up . Is it when you try to start the app , or go to a certain form ect . Then try putting in a whole lot of message boxes in the area u are getting the error . Say the function that is giving you the problems what u do is put a msgbox"1" after each line of code to nail down which line of code is giving you hassels .
Also check the filemonitor you can use the filter which means u can specify which path and process it must monitor . this will help so u do not have to go thru all the stuff you do not need .
Iam throwing ideas around , if u do not come arite mail me the project and i will take a quick look (clazar@softnet.co.za)
good luck

Hi Craig
I remember the last time I had this problem it was comming from
the database. I'll go this weekend and find out where the problem
is comming from. But I am closing this question and I shall let
you know the outcome by the weekend.
Thank you very much for the help.

Do you install support files into the application directory? If so, copy the versions of VBAJet32.dll and msjet35.dll (if necessary) that exist in their Windows system directory (or in another place in their path) into your app directory, deleting your versions (actually, rename them--always good to be able to backtrack) and then launch the app. That solves the problem for my users, but I install my support files into the application directory.
Good luck,
ian
