ActiveX component can't create object

[gschimek]

I've got a frustrating problem. I have a database that calls a compiled DLL. It works perfectly on one computer, which in case it matters, is running Windows 7 with Access 2010.

But on a second computer running Windows 7 with Access 2010, when I open the form that calls the DLL, I get the error "Runtime error 429. ActiveX component can't create object.

I've checked to make sure all my references are selected the same as computer 1. I've also tried running regsvr32 on the DLL to register it, but it hasn't helped.

I even tried reinstalling Windows from scratch on computer number 2 in case there was something going on, but I still get that error every time I open the form calling to that DLL.

Could there be some security setting preventing ActiveX components from running? I'm pulling my hair out on this one.

Thanks in advance.

Where are you putting the compiled dll file?

Reregister Concerning File

If you are getting a file name in the error description, then it is possible that particular file is not properly registered in the system registry database. In such a case, you need to re-register the file with the help of Command Prompt.

1. Close all open programs, if any.
2. Click Start, select Run.
3. Type CMD and press ENTER.
4. Type the following command:Regsvr32 For instance, if the name of the OCX file is vbalexpbar6.ocx, then type the following command: regsvr32 vbalexpbar6.ocx
5. Press ENTER to execute the command.
6. Finally, type EXIT and press ENTER to close Command Prompt.

This will fix error code 429.
