Function not available

Hi all

I have an MDE file that works perfectly when I copy it to a CD and run it
from CD but when I package it up with the developer wizard and then install
it on another computer I get "Function not available" in one of the queries.
Why? Help!!

Thanks Ken

Would you mind giving me a clue as to why this file is not included in the
runtime stuff. I always run the scan for files option to check for dependant
files before I package and have seen no instructions from Microsoft to
include any specific .dll. Are we supposed to use telepathy?

Hi all

I have just checked the file is on the packadge. So problem must be
elswhere.

I have the following activex controls included in the database:

VB for Aplications
MS Access 10.0 object library
OLE Automation
MS ActiveX data object 2.1 library
MS DAO 3.6 Object library

Quite honestly I have little idea what any of these files do, so I do not
know even if I need them.
I package as an MDE file so I cannot check if they are included in the
runtime version. Also for some reason MS Office XP Web components keeps
appearing in the referances why is this. I have to keep removing it.

Stop removing the Office Web Components from your References and see if the
problem goes away.

The problem that you described is one that my partner and I experienced.
Including the owc dll file resolved the problem for us.

Thank you.

Correct it appears to be a problem with web components. When I take out the
referance, no problem, when it's in problem??

Thanks again

You're saying that the problem goes away when you remove the reference?
Hmmm... most interesting...
