Pivot Table Error - Specified Module Could Not be Found

H

Heather

Hello,

I don't know if this is the correct section to post my question (please
redirect me if I should be posting elsewhere). I've got an interesting
situation with Office Web Components (Office XP) in Visual Studio 2003 (using
VB.Net). I've been using OWC with no issues for about 2 years. All of a
sudden, the pivot table component decided to stop working, and when I try to
drag it on a form the error message is "The specified module could not be
found." I can build and run the solution, but the forms with pivot tables
generate a "file not foundException" I thought maybe my references got fouled
up (as sometimes happens with VS), but the chart and spreadsheet components
work fine (and they use the same DLL as the pivot table component,
AXOWC.dll). I've tried reregistering and recompiling the web components with
no luck.

My coworkers references are identical to mine, and the pivot table works
perfectly for him. I'm at a loss. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

UPDATE: I just noticed that although my spreadsheet component works, the
toolbar is now missing and I can't get it back. I'm wondering if I need to
reinstall Office. Thanks for any help!

You probably need to re-install. If you are just after the "why this
stopped" you would first need to use the depends.exe tool that ships with
visual studio. Set it against the owc dll and check the dependency list to
see what is incorrectly registered, then re-register the faulty dll's.
Otherwise, just re-install or repair Office.
