All:

Placed a button on an Access 2000 form (Win98 OS--I know, dinosaur...) that
when clicked generates a "file
not found vba6.dll" error message; looked in C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6\ and found VBE6.DLL. Don't have
install disks, software came with the computer.

Or is there a workaround?

Many TIA's...
 
Hi.

You may need to re-register the library. Click Windows Start, and then
click Run. To register the library located in the default installation
directory, use the following command (all one line):

Regsvr32.EXE "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\VBA\VBA6\VBE6.DLL"

HTH.

Thanks Gunny, I located the vba6.dll file--it was in another location--and
copied it into the default vba6 directory, can I/should I use this command
to register it?

TIA...
 
Hi.

Click to expand...

If this is the only vba6.dll file on the computer, then that other
location's path should be used in registering the DLL. (After all, that's
where the application was installed, unless someone has been fiddling with
the files and shouldn't have.) Replace <OtherLocation> in the syntax below
with the actual path before registering the DLL:

Regsvr32.EXE "<OtherLocation>\VBE6.DLL"

HTH.
