I an the new IT manager.
I bought a new computer for the clearance dept.

The EXPORT.MDB program gives an error. "ActiveX compponent can't create
object". here are my questions.
1) Is there a way to get a list of ActiveX comtrolls that are beting used
in Access?
2) Better yet, Can I get the name of the last ActiveX controll that was used?
or had an error?


Info. The clearance dept has three computers. The Export.mdb works on the
two oldest computers with no problems. The new computer is the one with the
problem.

Thanks,
Scott Burke
 
ActiveX controls should show up in the References collection.

On a machine where it's working, open the VB Editor, and select Tools |
References.

Do the same on the machine where it's not working, and check the
difference(s).
 
Hi Douglas, Thanks for your time.

IT is the same program on all three machines. Should the references stay
the same?
Is there something on a computer that can change the references in an Access
program?

References are contained in each MDB file.

References problems can be caused by differences in either the location or
file version of certain files between the machine where the application was
developed, and where it's being run (or the file missing completely from the
target machine). Such differences are common when new software is installed.
 
Well, No software was added or deleted on the machine in question.

I just worked on another reference problem. After the third time I tried to
compile It finally fixed itself. This sounds like a major headace in the
very very near future.

Well, something is different about that one machine.

Are you sure it has the exact same load as the other machines? No
differences in terms of what software is on it? All service packs have been
applied to all of the machines?
