Cannot find Provider 1

[gorilla]

I have deployed a perfectly good working visual basic program using a ADO control. It works on a Windows 2000 computer with Office 2000. It works on a Windows 98SE with Office 97. I am using the Jet 3.51 driver. When I try to work it on another Windows 98SE computer without Office on it I get this error message: "Cannot find provider. May not be properly installed." I tried installing the MDAC. I tried installing the DCOM for WIndows 98. I tried installing a set of drivers from Microsoft labeled,Wx1350.exe which installs SQl driver and the Jet 3.51. I still get this error message. I installed the Latest Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and tried to repackage and redeploy, no good. I tried packaging and deploying on the Windows 98SE computer, no good. The computer that gives me the error message does not have Office or Visual BAsic on it. The other two have different versions of Office and Visual BAsic 6.0 with all the latest service packs for Windows 2000 and Windows 98SE. Help me... This is a little project for my church concerning a cassette tape database. I am dying on it. Help me, please... [sig][/sig]

I installed a copy of Visual Basic from a textbook that was called a working
edition. I then installed my VB package and it worked. I uninstalled Visual
Basic and the program still worked. Apparently the Visual Basic installation
added the missing files and even when uninstalled the files remained. This
solved my problem for the one computer. I still have no idea about a long
term solution until I figure out what files were missing and add them in
future Package Deployments. I hope this helps you out. Take care.

Hi,
Just a suggestion but since you are using Access 2000, you might want to use Jet DAO 3.6. 3.51 is for the Access 97 architecture.
