After Computer crash program cant find vba6.dll

[dpepper]

Hello,

My hard drive crashed a while back, the drive was cloned everything was saved, sort of except my email. When my friend set up my computer he did it under a different username spelling my name incorrectly 'deloris' so he made another 'dolores'.

All my files where there but they didn't recognize the new name 'dolores' and many I had to install again because they were missing files.

I have a program called style writer that works in microsoft word but when I try to use the program it can't find VBA6.dll, I tried reinstalling it and the came pop up comes up. If I can find one online (if possible) what folder would I put it in?

Any help would be appreciated

Sincerely,
Dolores

Register the .dll with Regsvr32 and it doesn't matter what directory it is in.

At a command prompt, or in the Run dialog, type:

regsvr32 "C:\path\to\file\VBA6.dll"

The thing you really need to watch out for is the version of the .dll.

Hi jbenson,

I typed the above in RUN and it popped up
loadlibray("C\path\to\file\VBA6.dll")
failed - The specified module could not be found

What should I do next?

I do have visual basic 6.0 (which I did reload) and visual studio 6.0 (which I never reloaded) could the file be on there?

I had trouble with Microsoft Money too. I actually had to use an older version, it wouild not install from my disk...crazy

sincerely,
Dolores

You have to put the REAL path to the DLL in there, which is what jebenson was trying to indicate. You'll have to find where the file is located first, then run the regsvr32 command again, with the actual path on your computer.

Sorry for being confusing...I usually explain when I type things like "C:\path\to\file".

Given that you seem to be talking about StyleWriter in Word, I'd suggest that you actually want the Office VBA dll, not the VB one (they are somewhat different), which is normally located in C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\vba\vba6\vbe6.dll
