Well everyone....it looks like I solved the RDO 429 error on our system here
but it was certainly not a likely workaround...but it was not too painful,
nonetheless.
I simply ran the VB 6.0 setup and chose to only install the data access
components. The only downside was I had to recreate all of my dsn's in my
ODBC setup...(had a backup anyway). So that's the scoop! It worked for me.
Good plan if your need to keep your app in VB 5.0 and use RDO.
