Access Runtime Capabilities

[echan]

1) Does anyone know the capabilities and features of Access 97 Runtime Version?
2) My problem is thus:
I have set up Access Runtime on a computer without full version of Access. There was an error in setup "comcat.dll could not register" although I don't know if this is the problem. I have compiled a VB (6.0) project as an EXE file which uses an Access database file *.mdb which is placed in the computer. The program is a simple report generating system using Pass-Thro queries thro Access to SQL server. On pressing the option of bringing up the report, the error:
"Run-time error '-2147.....'
Automation error
The object universal unique identifier (UUID) was not found."
Can anyone help me out?

John
I have tried that previously just to remove that doubt to an extent. However setup was not completed correctly for access runtime so that may stay be the problem. Any other ideas? (could it be the design or VB problem?) Many thanks

You can try to update/repair office. Which version of MSOffice do you have? John Fill

You could simply use the /runtime switch to test the runtime capabilities of your full version in both A97 and A2K.
But have a look at the runtime related articles in the ACCESS ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIA (

for the pitfalls.
