429 active X component can't create object-error

[lycialive]

I'm pretty new to Access, and we normally have a system where emails are automatically pulled from the database and sent thru outlook. Now, a problem has occurred, a computer died, and I need to set up the same system from another machine.

When I try to send the email from another machine I get these 2 errors:

I get a series of 2 errors whenever I try this.

1. 429 Active X component can't crreate object
2. 424 object required.

Does anybody know what this is, or what it means, adn what i have to do to get back to normal?

Thanks!

It means that you didn't install a piece of software whose library is required on the new computer. Go into your VB editor and check the "References" to make sure that all software "checked" is actually installed.

Fantastic tip! It still gives me an error that it "can't find the attachment", but at least it's sending the emails. And it is sending them with the attachments, so I'm not sure why I'm getting the error.

Yes, there was a .dll missing. I'm not sure what you meant by VB editor, so I went into the VB script from the Properties. Thanks for the help!

Ooops, spoke too soon. Now it's not adding the attachments-which are only links, not actual attachments. This is hard to figure.

Can you post your code?

Unfortunately I can't, the company won't allow it (for now anyway). I will try to muddle through and if i absolutely can't, I'll get permission to post it. Thanks, I appreciate it.

I finally figured this out if it helps anybody in the future. The reason access wasn't including attachments, and giving me an error code was because the subject header was shortened with ... added. Example: Dear Cust....

I went through and finished all the subject headers like: "Dear Customer" and now it works perfectly.
