Sorry to post this here as well as in the NT4 forum, but I was wondering if someone here has experienced similar.
I have an NT4 box that is using UDL and ADO to connect to an SQL server.All works well in the staging environment - which is (I thought) identical to production (although obviously something is different). However, Production gives the "429 ActiveX component can't create object" - and I'm stumped. The MDAC reports as the same on both machines (2.8), and as far as I can see, both servers are set up with the same permissions. The connection strings are identical....
Code:
connection string = "Driver={SQL Server};server=myserver;database=mydatabase;uid=username;pwd=password"connection string = "Data Source=myserver;network library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=mydatabase, User Id=username;Password=password;"
There are other bits to it, but it is failing on:
Code:
Set SQL = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.CONNECTION")
As I said, MDAC checks out, permissions check out, file versions are the same...Anyone have any idea what else I can check? Nothing using ADO/UDLs on this machine is working. Except, of course, if you open the UDL by double clicking it. The connection checks out fine - connects OK.
Completely stumped here.
 
I google different possible causes:

The error means that you have a corrupt MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) installation on your computer.
--> reinstall MDAC


This error occurs because the Microsoft® Scripting Engine is not installed on the system running the program.


No (or not correct version) .NET Framework installed
