Can't find DAO350.DLL - permissions problem
Visual Basic 6 has been installed on a Windows 2000 machine.
VB launches successfully with admin rights.
However it will not launch as a standard user - the message 'Can't find file DAO350.DLL' is displayed.
The application closes when OK is clicked.
I have tried re-registering the DLL, installing MDAC and reinstalling Visual Studio - but the problem won't go away.
Visual C++ runs correctly.
Please help ...

Hi!
Try this on run command line:
Regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL
If it's not there try to locate that dll using Find and move it there and reply that command
Some versions of Office install tend to remove older DAO versions from the registry.

Thanks for the comments so far.
I have tried regsvr32 but this has not worked.
the application works fine when logged in as an admin, but not as a user??
also tried the MDAC solution with no sucess.

Hi!
When you open database for write it will create ldb-file and can't do that if there is regular user. Set priviliges "full control" for your database folder.

did you try the Jet Engine solution I guided you to?

Hi there all.
Yes I have tried the Jet engine solution.
It is not an application that has been written in VB it is the application itself, All works fine when logged on as an system administrator, however when logged on as a user if you try to launch VB you get the message 'Can't find file DAO350.DLL' if you add the users to the local admin group all works fine.
This is not a solution due to company policy.

Thinking that when open the database it's readonly=False
Chance that then it will open for users.

Its not a database, It happens when trying to actually open up Visual Basic to start programming.
