Activex Component Cant Create Object

[jfield817]

Hi All,

I am using Visual Basic 6 with an app with the following code.

Set NewEmail = CreateObject("CDONTS.newmail&quot

The error msg .."Activex Component Cant Create Object"
gets trapped

I have "CDONTS for 1.2" and ADO 2.7 library checked in References.

Any ideas.
Thanks much
John

Error 429 usually means that you are missing, or the app can't find, a required .ocx or .dll file. Check which file the app is looking for and ensure that is on the computer, is located where the app islooking for it, and that it is registered properly.

Zemp,

Theres a cdonts.dll in c:\winnt\system32 - version 6.0
However SMTP is not installed on the box.

I suspect that could that have caused the error ...

We'll try installing SMTP next week .

Do u agree with that.

Thanks
John

You can also make sure that the dll is registered by registering the dll manually. Go to Start-run and type

regsver32 "c:\winnt\system32\cdonts.dll"

and click Ok. Make sure thab path is correct for your machine.

Syntax problem, sorry typing too fast, it should be 'regsvr32' and not 'regsver32'.

I have a similar problem on a Windows NT machine but my code is slightly different:

Set ObjMail = CreateObject("MAPI.Session&quot

I have tried to install the files 'CDO.dll' and 'CDONTS.dll' on 'c:\winnt\system32\' using regsvr32.exe, but it fails to register.

If I copy these DLLs to a different directory I can register them, but my application still returns the same error message.

Any tip? Thanks.

Mapi and Cdonts are two separate entities and files. Mapi uses 'MSMAPI32.ocx'. Check to see if that ocx is present and registered properly.
