Run Time Error

Hi all

I have just put the front end of an "established" access2000 onto a new XP
PC.
The new machine is running XP Pro and Office Pro 2003.
When performing a selection, I get the prompt "run time error 429" and
"activex component can't create object".

When I look at the debug option it highlights the line:
Set ClsMouseWheel = New MouseWheel.CMouseWheel

The guy who set up the database included a mousewheel.dll file in the MS
directory for previous intalls. I have done this, but the error message
appears nonetheless.

Any ideas guys?

TIA

Try putting a copy of the mousewheel.dll in the same folder as the
front-end. That particular mouse scroll wheel add-in needs to find the DLL
either in the windows\system or calling app directory.

Thanks Van

Tried this and got an error:

GetLastError 0x00000007e

Googled for this but couldn't find a solution.
Have you come across this?

Sorry, I haven't heard of this error.

It is possible that mousewheel.dll has some dependencies that is not
available from your new PC. There was a site that list dependencies of
these files but I lost the Web address.

Someone else may have this Web address handy?

Solution found!
I had been trying to run regsvr32.exe logged in as user. Mousewheel
registers correctly when logged in as local admin.....doh

Thanks to all respondents

Thanks for letting the newsgroup know the solution.

Sorry, I always do these things as Admin and didn't think of the possibility
that you were having problem registering DLL / ActiveX as normal user.
