Visual Basic 5 Pro -- Active X DLL

[UnkUser]

I am attempting to create an Active X DLL which accesses a Jet DB, but I keep getting the following error when I attempt to use the Make menu command:

Permission denied.

It halts on the ".Workspaces" part of the DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase (...) command.

I have added the DAO 3.5 Object Library to the References. The compile options are set for Compile to Native Code - Optimize for Fast Code and none of the Advanced options are checked.

Does anyone have any ideas on the cause and solutions for this error?

A similar error is generated when attempting to create a Statndard EXE:

Run-time error '429':

ActiveX component can't create object.

Apparently, these errors are caused by the DBEngine license key not being loaded into the registry. (See MS Support Knowledgebase document Q240377,

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q240377)

The solution is item #4 in the document. Save the three lines that are shown in item #4 with a ".reg" extension. Then import them into the registry by using RegEdit.exe. RegEdit should be located in the C:\Windows folder.
