Progress Bar

[access2010]

Our office has purchased a new Windows 7 computer and we are using MS Access 2003 to send Email to Outlook 2003

On our existing XP machine with the same Access to Outlook configuration our Email is being sent without a problem

On our Windows 7 machine we must be missing something as we receive the following message
Forms!ProgressBar!progBar.Max = ContactCount

I remember that we had to add a file which I think was - Mdac - to have our program work
Could I please receive a suggestion on where to obtain the missing file
Thank you for your assistance

This isn't enough info to be conclusive about what the problem is . . .

Forms!ProgressBar!progBar.Max = ContactCount

. . . but there is a file on your XP machine that provides a progress bar. Find it at this path . . .

C:\Windows\System32\mscomctl.ocx

. . . and then google "regsvr32 windows 7 ocx" to read up on how to register it on your new windows 7 box.

Hope this helps,

Do you have any other idea

This is not enough information to troubleshoot. Presumably there were symptoms of this failure?
Best of luck,

What would you suggest that we do to have our 2003 MS Access to Outlook email program work on our donated Windows 7 box, as at this time we have to use our XP machine to send email?

Thank you, Nicole

Basically, what Mark is saying is that we need to know exactly what messages you're receiving. "It didn't work" doesn't tell us anything, any more than it would help a mechanic if all you told them about your car is "My car's not running right", or your doctor only "I'm in pain from time to time".

In your original post, you mention seeing this:

Forms!ProgressBar!progBar.Max = ContactCount

All this tells us is that you, in some way, went to the code (probably via the debug button on the error message) and saw this line. Assuming you posted that line because it was highlighted in yellow, all that it says is that Access failed for some reason at assigning the value contained in the variable ContactCount to the Max property of the control progBar on the form called ProgressBar. The catch is that this could have happened for around a bajillion reasons, and without the actual error message, we can't begin to troubleshoot this.

Hell, I'd have suggested just using the progress bar class saved in the repository on this site, but if you don't have any programmers, you likely wouldn't be able to get it implemented.

Why didn't you get any success, couldn't you get it register or ???

The same are we - volunteers (and we like it) - but we are not mind readers!
To get it to go a little smoother in the future, write which error message and number you get, and if any then tell also that. As well as show line of code where the error occurs, better to show the entire procedure ad mark the line in which the error occurs.
And tell what it is you have tried and why it failed - "No success" is not easy for us to find out what went wrong!
