Hello every body ?? :)

i have a question for you :

I have written an application in VB witch connect to an Access DataBase (I use for that the [/b]DataEnvironment[/b]]. I have finished it and work very well. i have create a setup for it with InstallShield Professional
and P&DW witch comes with VB6

but the problem is when i try to install my Application in an other PC witch have no VB an no Access [InstallShield or P&DW].

an error Message appear :
ERROR N° : '-2147220992 (80040200)':
[MICROSOFT][..ODBC Driver] Data Source not found or Driver name not specified



normally all is ok but ..... :-/

NB : with the InstallShield I have Included
- Access 97 object
- MDAC 2.6 1 object
- ODBC 3.51 1 object
- JET 4.0 object
- VB6 Run time

Please i nead a solution for this problem.
Thanx
 
First I would check the ODBC settings in controlPanel\AdministratorTools\Data Sources or in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ to check if the settings and drivers are as you expect.

If you need to change ODBC settings programmatically let me know, I'll drop you a code snippit.

Hope this helps,
Steve.
