Question Installing VB6 app on client's XP
An application written in VB6 ran fine for years on client's Win98 pc. Installed on client's new XP, ran, and immediately got error [ODBC Driver Manger] Driver's SQLSetconnectAttr failed'. Application uses ADO, Access, Jet Engine 4.0. What do I do to make this application run on an XP?

Thank you for your suggestions.

my errors
I had errors going from a 95 machine to xp ... don't ask

I had to run service pack 2 or serice pack 3 on windows XP machine in order to get further with memory errors,
I then had problems with dll files. Something to do with the dll's were on win 95 but not XP, never solved it, became frustrated and recloned the machine rather than just upgrade it, and poof, it worked.

Probably the version of ADO the code was written against doesn't exist on the target machine.

You can get various versions of MDAC at http://www.microsoft.com/data

Code was written using ADO 2.1 which I copied over to XP machine and installed. After install ended it came up with message 'Please go to the control panel to install and configure system components'. Does this mean installed files are not registered?

If you installed mdac using the mdac_typ.exe installer it should register all the components. There are way too many to think about registering by hand

Does your program do any direct interfacing with the ODBC API? Maybe there is some versioning issue there.

You were right - it did end up being a version issue.
