I have a VB5 program that creates/maintains Parts Lists for our
manufacturing processes. It uses data controls to connect to an Access
95 database. Everything works fine on both my desktop unit (Win95
OSR2), and laptop (Win98 Original), both with VB5 installed. However,
once deployed to the machine it's intended to run on (Win95 OSR2),
when connecting to the database, I get a "Network or Disk I/O error"
messagebox. After clicking "OK", the error message goes away, and the
database is there, with everything working just as intended.
I've also tried...
1 - converting the database to Access 97
2 - referencing DAO 3.5, 3.6 individually and together (I also use DAO
recordsets, as well as data controls)
3 - rerunning the Package and Deployment Wizard under VB6
At this point, the database is installed on the same machine as the
program - eventually, it will move to a file server. It's more of an
annoyance than anything else, but I've run into this before where
things work fine on the development machine, and either have problems
or don't work at all when deployed on a different machine, so I'm
looking to find out why.
