My W-98 laptop crashed and required a full restore. After the restore I downloaded (from M/S) and installed MDAC 2.8, but when I attempt to establish an ODBC connection with the M/S Access driver, I get an error that a dll (odbctl.dll) won't load. Any help greatly appreciated! Dick

Thanks for the response. You helped me a bunch!:) Dick

:confused:Is there a way to make DAO programs "transportable"? When I compile programs and move them to a machine other than the one where they were compiled, I often get a "DAO/DB" error. How can I make my programs work with other versions of the JET engine?:confused: Richard

Help! I am using Winexec to call another C++ compiled program. All at once the button won't execute the program, but I CAN start the program by double clicking it's icon. Code I'm using: WinExec("MyProg",SW_SHOW); If I double click the MyProg icon, it runs fine! The button used to work, but just quit. I am flummoxed:confused: Any help greatly appreciated! Richard

Help!
