Very Computer

I created a small simple program that takes information from a one page
form and writes it to a simple access database.  When trying to save the
data from a remote workstation I get the following error:

runtime error 429 "ActiveX component cannot create object"  I thought it
might have to do with a network mapping problem but the workstation is
mapped correctly so I'm unsure what may be causing the problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated....thanks

I, too, have just today experienced this same problem.  In my case, I
developed a standalone ActiveX EXE which creates and makes calls to 2 other
ActiveX EXE processes.  Mine was tricky to compile because due to the
nature of callbacks, I have a circular reference between 2 of the ActiveX
EXE projects.  However, my project compiled and worked correctly (using
Binary compatibility) on my laptop where it was developed, but failed to
work on the server I copied it to.  

It verified that the classes are registered by looking at the registry, but
it still gives me the same blasted "Runtime 429" error.  Any ideas?!  Could
the binary compatibility thing be causing the controls to look for
references where none exist?  (I thought by double-clicking an ActiveX EXE,
it was registered similar to using regsvr32 with .dlls)

Thanks for any input!

Douglas,

I fixed my '429 runtime error' problem by using Visual Basic Setup Wizard
for the component giving me problems (NOT THE APPLICATION!!).  After I ran
the setup routine on the "flaky" server, everything worked just wonderful!!

Have you given this a shot?
