Thanks Dave (Husky!) That's the kind of thought that doesn't generally cross your mind. But I will test that out. What did you use to distribute your problem app? I am fairly convinced that my setup routine is missing something, which most times is already on a machine. But in rogue...

Get this - Most of the successful clients are running XP SP2, one is running under 64 bit Vista and one is running W98 ........ all perfectly! This one m/c is another XP SP2 machine. I checked out the missing reference suggestion last time with no joy - everything was fine.

Hi Dave, It is definitely something wrong with the client. The m/c can see the BE (and extracts data to other controls), but ALL the listboxes remain unpopulated. I had exactly the same thing last year with an application - I overcome it by running my installation file (inno setup), followed by...

I am trying to identify all files that the Listbox depends on. I have distributed a system to ten machines without a problem on nine. On the tenth machine the system runs OK except that all listboxes are empty! On screens that access the same tables using subforms - there is no problem. Just...

Gemma, It was that reference that was troubling me. I have discovered that it is most definitely something wrong in the references. The "minor" mod that I introduced included calling for the msword olb reference. This is what caused the problem on some m/c. Take out the olb reference and the...

Bob, I have confirmed that under a successful installation, if I remove comctl32.ocx it generates the described problem, put it back and everything is OK. However, the client machines are all using the same version of comctl32 as the development machine - and as I said before, if I revert to the...

Thanks Bob, I will look at your suggestion next week and post a report .......

Thanks for the suggestion RG. There might be a new suggestion here, but I think I have been through these loops before. Because the problem is not consistent I am completely at a loss. I don't think it anything to do with version numbers either, as the development machine hasn't changed and the...

Anyone seen this before? The scenario is - A distributed application on ten machines - all running the MDE in runtime. All machines are running perfectly. Minor changes made to the application and new MDE built. After roll-out, six machines work perfectly with the new version. The remaining...
