How to locate cause of vb/ActiveX run time error 429?

by a.macg . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

I have a vb6 (sp2) program that uses several ActiveX controls and components. It runs fine on XP and win 2K but after installing on Win 2003 server, 2 parts of the programme (responding to click events) cause the error “Run time error 429 – ActiveX components can’t create object”.

I have installed error handling in the associated click event procedures but it seems the error is raised prior to the procedures running as the error handler does not respond.

I have several components (DAO,ADODC MSHFlexgrid. Flexgrid DatControl) and references to Access 2000, Excel 97 and Data Environment plus usual vb standard references.

How can I find which ActiveX component or components are causing the problem. Will there be an entry in the event log or can I setup to get the application to record one?

Any help or pointers appreciated.

Alex
