VB6 error

Hi everyone.    When opening or compiling a project in VB6, sometimes I get this error:   "<projectname>\MSCOMCTL.OCX could not be located".     If I then go into the project, and go
to Project>> Components (Controls tab),   and check the checkbox for 'Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0',   and save, then the project will load and compile without any errors.    I then check the
project back into TFS.... and all is well.
However, if I then check the same project out of TFS again, the cycle of errors with "<projectname>\MSCOMCTL.OCX could not be located" starts all over again.   The setting in Components that I mentioned above is not retained.
I have search Google for the "<projectname>\MSCOMCTL.OCX could not be located" error for 2 weeks... and I have tried every solution that I could find.   However, nothing that I have tried has resolved the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be happening?    I am running Visual Basic 6 (SP6) on Windows 7.    Thank you!!

Thank you.

Hello,
The OCX was retired about 10 years ago. In CR 2008 your only option is to use Crystal Reports .NET Assemblies and move to Visual Studio .NET 2008.

Java goto?

Hi!
I am very new to java (i normally write in c#), but am currently faced with the task of debugging someone else's code. The problem is there is reams of the stuff, and none of it is commented. The person who wrote it is no longer here so I cannot ask them what on earth they were up to. I have made a few changes to their source code and now I cannot get it to compile. The error is on these lines:
First there is an odd line label:
_A3:
followed by some code.
Then there is this:
if(true) goto A4; else goto A3
further down the page there is the _A4 label that the previous statement seems to be pointing to:
_L4:
and this is also followed by code.
So, firstly, can anybody explain what these line labels are doing. They look to me like the old VB6 error handling blocks, but they don't make any sense to me.
Secondly, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that java has no goto statement (and the compiler does indeed give an illegal statement error), so does anyone know why I would be finding one in the code?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Adam

Hi Adam,
I wonder the difference between the original code and the decompiled code for the "goto" section.
I am having the same problem but can't get hold of the original code.
Is it possible for you to send the original code for this goto part?
Thanks,
Ryan

Error 1334 (in LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1.1 setup) when launching VB6's IDE

What's going on here? I have LabVIEW 7.0 and Visual Basic 6 installed on this Win-XP computer. When I open VB6, I always get what looks like a Windows Installer error:
First, it asked me for the location of "lvruntimeeng.msi", which I located for it. The next progress-window says:
NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.11
Please wait while Windows configures NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.11
Finally it fails with this error-message window:
NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.11
Error 1334. The file 'NIMDFManifestFileId.53736431_DBEC_4582_B072_2F1F0A2C4EA6' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'lbruntimeeng_mft'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.
[OK]
The two windows repeat twice each time I launch VB6's IDE, and that causes a long delay. What can I do to prevent this error?
Message Edited by citizenDAK on 04-23-2008 01:34 PM

Yes it occurrs every time I launch VB6.
For a long time now, at least many months. It's not every day that I need to open good old VB6. I was hoping it'd just 'go away' but it hasn't.
I don't know what changes lead up to it. LOTS of things have been updated, security-patched, etc... (It is XP.) I've even un-installed the runtime, then re-installed it when I kept getting the same prompt. Don't have any idea why, I was hoping you could tell me from the specific file named in the error. (Google didn't find it for me, and neither did searching ni.com)
p.s., Sorry I left out a decimal and copy/pasted it several times... should've said "NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1.1"

Crystal Report Error when Viewing in VB6

Post Author: aquiintac
CA Forum: General
I'm using crystal report and vb6. My first problem was how to change the data source location of the crystal report. I found away by using this: crxReport.Databases.SetDataSource rsReport
but I'm having an exception report : "The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434f4d) occurred in the application at location 0x77e55e02"The report shows for some time but after opening several reports the error message occurs.This is my scenario:"I'm using a udl for my connection. I have two databases namely TK and TK_MCC. TK is for other company and TK_MCC is for the subsidiary company. I used TK database when I created the crystal report. I used the setdatasource to pass the recordset to change the datasource location of the crystal report. So even if they change the database TK to TK_MCC they can still access the report. But when I did the setdatasource there was an exception report. (The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434f4d) occurred in the application at location 0x77e55e02)"Before it was working fine when I don't have to change the database. But when I used crxReport.Database.SetDataSource rsReport this error happened.By the way, i tried it also in another computer (just installed the program) but the error message was different. The other error was error28 out of stack space and sometimes the program closes by itself.Can someone help me on this...Thank you very much.

Seems to be working now.
I upgraded CR and adobe.

Error while adding user fields to user table using vb6.0

Hi,
I am adding a user tables using vb6.0 using DIAPI.
I am able to add the user table successfully.
I am getting the following error when i am adding the fields to the table.
"The metadata object for this object cannot be updated, since it's ref count is bigger than 0."
My code is as follows:
    oUserFieldsMD.TableName = TABLE_NAME_ITEM_LOCN
    oUserFieldsMD.Name = vTableFields(0, lCount)
    oUserFieldsMD.Description = vTableFields(1, lCount)
    oUserFieldsMD.Type = vTableFields(2, lCount)
    oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = CLng(vTableFields(3,lCount))
    lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Add
This error does not come up when i try to add the field to my table using the vb sample provided by SAP.
Your help will me much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Satish,
The problem is that you added the table and the objetc that you used to add the table is not freed properly. You need to free the object and then the reference count to that table will be 0 - which will enable you to add the fields
e.g
Dim pUTables As SAPbobsCOM.UserTablesMD
'Do your stuff
Set pUTables = Nothing
Dim pUFields As SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD
'Do your stuff
Set pUFields = Nothing

Vb6 ODBC - Syntax error or access violation in oracle 11g migration

Hi,
We have VB6 application with Oracle 10g and the same is working fine.
Now, we are migrating to Oracle 11g now and we have updated the odbc drivers too.
{ call M_FR(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) }
L_ID = 890083
V_ID = 1
SUB_ID = 6955141
SUB_SEQ = 1
P_CODE = 1
L_SUP_TYPE = 1
L_REF_NO = 1
DELETE_REASON_CODE = 1
When calling the above sp in oracle 11g getting error: [Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle]Syntax error or access violation.
But user has all the right and no issue with access. Also no syntax error. In SQLplus the same is working fine.
Kindly help us to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Sathiya

Try downloading the latest version of the 8.1.6 driver off OTN.
That sounds like a bug that was fixed a while ago.

AcroForm.api throws an error when instantiated in VB6

When I try to create a new instance of AFORMAUTLib.AFormApp in vb 6, the code throws the error "ActiveX component can't create object." I am using Adobe Acrobat v9.1. Is there anything I can do to fix this error?

We do not support development around Acrobat 9 with VB6. In fact, I believe the last version that we supported with VB6 was Acrobat 7.

Installing NIDAQ 7.5 cause error in VB6 "nidaq32.dll not found"

Hi,
Anyone had this problem? I installed the NI-DAQ 7.5 drivers because
I've been trying to get an application working with my 6533 card which
just had DAQmx support added for it in 7.5. I have old code in VB6 that
makes straight driver calls that I was trying to migrate to VB.NET. So
I installed the new drivers and now I can access the card fine in
VB.NET, however, my old VB6 application no longer works. It gives me
the following error:
Run-time error' '48':
File not found: nidaq32.dll
I went searching and the nidaq32.dll is still sitting in my
Windows/SYSTEM32 folder, so that should be fine. The only thing I've
changed since it stopped working is the installation of NI-DAQ7.5. I've
tried reinstalling the driver. I've also tried overwriting the three
nidaq32.bas files that I had in my project directory with the new ones
in the nidaq/includes folder. Anyone else have this happen and/or know
a solution for it?
Thanks,
Chris

Dear Chris,
Please see this post.
Have a great day!

"Error 13 type mismatch" appears in a VB6 under XP but not under wWindows 2000 ...

Hello !
I would like to use Daqmx functions in a VB6 program I am currently writing. In order to gain ideas about how to do it, I ran an example code DigPulseTrain-Cont.vbp included in Labview 8.2 intsallation. It works OK when ran on a Window 2000 PC, but delivers an arror massage "13 Type mismatch" when using a XP platform. Is it documented somewhere and any fix I can use to bypass this ?
Thank you !

Runtime Error in Vb6. Error Loading DLL Error Code 48

Hi
We are facing an issue with one of the dlls hosted in Window 2008 Server R2.
To give a background. The application is a VB6.0 Application having ASP as the front end. There are over 5000 Dlls in the application and this is an application running for more than 20 years (but first time in Win 2008 R2). There has been no code changes
or recompilation in the DLL.
The DLL that my ASP directly refers is VerificationApp.dll (This is a COM+ Dll). This inturn accesses a TaskVerification DLL (COM DLL-registered using regsvr32). When I do any operation on this page in this server, it shows me
Error Log. ID:(38718) Error in loading DLL:in:VerificationApp.clsVerificationApp.InsertUpdateDelete:Err:48
This happens only in this server. I have various different hosted instances of this which works perfectly Ok. I have tried many options as mentioend in the google
links, but nothing seemed to work. Pls suggest

What a nightmare..... Maybe it's time to rewrite the application.

I say you may have to go back to Bing or Google and search some more for
a resolution.
The other thing is Win 2k8 server has security that may not allow access
to the registry, file system or resources without the proper permissions
in the context the program is running under. Win 2k8 server is not like
Win 2k3 server, Win 2k server or Win NT 4.0 server in this regard.

Error 20544 Access Denied with Crystal ActiveX control in VB6

Post Author: beckybear
CA Forum: General
We have a piece of legacy software written a while ago that is in VB6 using the Crystal ActiveX control crystl32.ocx. We use 8.5 of Crystal Reports.About 50 or so users have this program loaded and it runs a single crystal report from a server location. Most days, everything runs just fine, but lately more and more we've been having a problem where our some of our users get the message "Runtime Error 20544. Access to report file denied. Another program may be using it." The same user will continue to get this error, even after rebooting, while others continue with no issues. It's never the same people affected day to day. And it always works for everyone the next day.I've read about a 20 limit on reports, but new users can log in and use the program with no problem, so if it's a connection limit, it doesn't seem right that new users would work. Also, the workaround for that I found for that particular limit problem, setting it as a temporary report, doesn't seem to be available with the ActiveX control. We cannot reliably reproduce the problem.So I guess my questions are, do you have any idea why it would work the next day without a reboot of the server or the user's machine? If this is a limit problem, where is that limit stored, or how can I test to see that it is the limit problem? What else could it be and is there anything I can add in the VB program to try and prevent this (cleanup, checks, etc.)? Is this ActiveX control still supported and recommended with version 8.5? Is there a different component we should be using?Thanks in advance for any help you can offer for this frustrating problem. I searched the old archives and found others reporting this problem, but no solutions.

Post Author: RayK
CA Forum: General
Did you find a solution for this problem? I'm having the same sporadic problem with Crystal 8.5. It usually goes away for a user by logging out and back in, but I'm getting a lot of complaints. The report is being sent directly to the printer - no Preview mode as has been reported as the cause for some people.

Register failk error when invoking ActiveX control for a JavaBean from VB6

J2RE v1.4.2_09
Visual Basic 6.0 SP5/Visual C++ 6.0 SP5
Windows 2000 SP4
We have our existing production applications written using VB6 and VC++6. We are in the process of moving them incrementally to J2EE. Before everything is totally re-written in J2EE, we need to do something for interoperability between existing VB6/VC++6 and J2EE. ActiveX Bridge seems to be the solution we need, if only it works.
Problem that I am facing....
Register failk error when I try to insert a java bean activex control on a VB6.0 or VC++6.0 form or create an instance of the activex "Person.Bean.1" using CreateObject function, it throws the following error. I am able to create an instance of Person Bean ActiveX Control using ActiveX Control Test Container that comes with Visual Studio 6.0 and invoke the methods in the bean successfully though which means that the ActiveX control is registered properly and working.
Error Message Box Title: asdas
Error Message: register failk
And then another error message pops up.
Error Message Box Title: Java(TM) Plug-in Fatal Error
Error Message: Cannot load class sun/plugin/JavaRunTime

I have this sample java bean class.
a) Person.java

public class Person implements Serializable{

public Person(){

I am able to create an instance of this Person Bean ActiveX Control using ActiveX Control Test Container that comes with Visual Studio 6.0 and invoke the methods in the bean successfully. But, when I try to insert the activex control on a VB6 or VC++6 form or create an instance of "Person.Bean.1" using CreateObject function, it throws the above mentioned errors.
I checked the registry and it shows J2RE1.4.2_09 version properly under that key and the Person.dll file exists under d:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\bin. I also explicitly added the plugin.jar, person.jar to the classpath. Still it gives the error.
Any ideas? Any fix or workaround for this problem? Thanks.

Sometimes solutions are simpler than expose the problem.
Did you add the dll to the project references?
Sometimes also it is usefull to use the regsvr32 program to register the DLL.
