Whenever I want run my visual basic project, it gives me this error:

Run-time error '429'
ActiveX component can't create object.

When I try to debug, it prompts me on the line:

Set db=Opendatabase("C:\xxx\xxx.mdb")

I installed Visual Basic again but it didn't work.
What do you think is the problem?

"Have you included the Access Object Library to your Project > References?"

This is the wrong way to go.

Make sure you have the latest SP from VB6 (Sp5) @

www.microsoft.com\downloads\

I assume by the code you wrote that you are usingDAO. If you are using ADO then this code will not work.

Again, get the latest service pack - it will include a newer version of MDAC - this should help.

Once updated, if the error still occurs, then get back to us.

this error 429 is mostly generated by the provider. i think you have referenced ADO and tried to use DAO opendatabase method. if you use dsn, start the trace and find exactly where it fails.
