How do I resolve Error 429 - ActiveX control cannot create object?

This problem is corrected by re-registering the DAO350.dll.

The instructions are from Microsoft Knowledge Base article 292054: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;292054.

You can get a copy of the DAO350.dll file from a computer where MS Office is working correctly, or you can obtain a copy of DAO350.dll at the following FTP address:

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/


To register DAO350.dll, follow the following steps. When typing the filename into the Run dialog box, be sure to enter it exactly as shown below.

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type Regsvr32.exe C:\progra~1\common~1\micros~1\dao\dao350.dll
Click OK

While the instructions on the knowledge base article are longer and more extensive, registering the file usually resolves the problem.
