Date and Time picker call error

[foxrainer]

My program makes use of several DateTime picker objects. They run great under the VFP machine, but not in machines which do not have VFP installed. I did, BTW, copy MSCOMctrl2 into the Windows/System32 folder of the non-VFP machine

The error is as follows: "OLE IDispatch exceptioon code 0 from DTPicker: An error occurred in a call to the Windows Date and Time picker control..."

Any helpp would b greatly appreciated.

Can I assume you also registered the Activex? If not try registering it.

Mike,

sorry for the ignorance,

but,

could you tell me how?

Depending on the version your are using.

Use this in your DOS prompt or Start - >Run

regsrv32 'c:\Windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCX'.

Or 

regsrv32 'c:\Windows\System32\MSCOMCT2.OCX'.

Rainer,

The fact that you got an OLE IDispatch error suggests that the control was correctly registered. If it wasn't, you would not have got there far (but I'm not sure about that).

If registering the control doesn't solve the problem, use the debugger to figure out which line of code caused the error. If you could then post the code in question, somebody might spot the reason.

Mike and Mike,

again, thank you for both of your inputs.

Mike L. - you are correct - the COM was installed - I checked under my Access files and the Date/ time picker works flawlessly.

Unfortunately, I can not install VFP on the boxes where I get the error as they are State computers and will not allow application installation and it does not produce the error while under VFP.

Hmm?
