DAO 3.6
in [Visual Basic]
|
From: Trouble on 23 Mar 2010 18:33 I need to maintain a large VB6 app. I added XP Virtual Machine to my Win 7 computer. I loaded VB 6. I tried to run the app and got a message. looking for DAO 3.6. A box came up specifying C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\DAO\dao360.dll. There was no file there. I looked on my old XP computer and it was there. I tried adding it to the new computer but it doesn't work. Is there a way to get the new machine to recognise this file? Tell me if I'm in the wrong place here.

I don't believe that Jet/DAO was pre-installed on initial releases of XP so you will probably need to install at least XP SP2 or the latest version of the Jet database engine: How to obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft Jet 4.0 Database Engine http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239114 Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic)

From: Trouble on 24 Mar 2010 16:11 Thank you both for the respose. I really appreciate that you take the time to try and help. I accidently found the answer. In VB6 I use DAO to read and write to Access and Excel. But I forgot that Office was only on the new Win 7 machine and not the Virtual XP machine. Anyway without thinking this would help that problem I loaded Office 2000 on the virtual machine. It loaded and registered the files and finally after days of struggle the VB6 IDE is working perfectly. Thanks again.
