Probs with Ac2002 app developed with localiyed ver, run on Acc2002 US

Hi,

I have big troubles with an Access2002 application
I wrote it under Acc2002 Romanian, and try to run it on Acc2002 US version,
and I have the following troubles

For some forms, Load event is not executed, and when the form is opened (it
is, but without triggering any LOAD event) I try to click on any button, It
gets a message like "Access cannot communicate with ActiveX server, bla,
bla..."

I have no ActiveX server on my form, I use a COM object in the app but
instantiated with Late Binding (CreateObject) so there is not a reference
issue.

I tried everything I could imagine:

On Acc2002 US pc, I created a new MDB and imported all objects from old one,
compiled (OK and try to run - the same result)
Open with /Decompile and recompile - no good
Compact and repair till my mouse get tired - no result

I am desperate!
Can anyone help me?

Thank you
Bogdan Zamfir

Hi,

Just because you are using late binding doesn't mean that it's not the
problem.
In fact since the message says "cannot communicate with Active X server"...
suggests that the COM DLL you are using has not been registered on the US
machine.

The fact that Access behaves bizarrely by not firing events is just Access
being
it's normal useless self, so you'll have to put up with it.

Regards,
Peter

Probably not your COM object. More likely, the ADO or DAO or OFFICE or VBA
object.

I wonder if the office object is failing because of the absence of the
Office/Romanian localisation string dll?

Hi all, and thanks for all answers

I figured out the solution to my problem (with some help)
The issue is localized Access has the silly custom to use localized names
for programmatic objects, and to use Romanian names as default for controls
added to form

And the Romanian translation for Label uses some specific Romanian letters
(diacritics - ã), which confused the US version and stop it for working
appropriately.

After I renamed this, I still had to import the all objects into a new BE
created on US machine, and this made the app work.

Hope this will help someone with the same problem.

Best regards,
Bogdan Zamfir
