runtime error 429

[Guest]

I have a database that has been working for several years, it is in access 97
since this company for whatever reason will not upgrade. Anyway it has been
working fine on all machines, today, however, it works on all but mine. The
switchboard will not open, gives runtime error 429 activex cannot open. No
changes have been made to this computer since yesterday. How can this be
corrected?

You probably need to register the DAO dll using regsvr32. For example
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL" or DAO360.DLL
