Working on getting a legacy app up and running again for work. I’m getting an error at run time that I can’t create an activeX control. The suspect call is
oSQL = CreateObject("SQLDMO.SQLServer2")
I did a bit of googling and found that SQLDMO should be in a SQLDMO.dll. I’ve got that DLL referenced in my project but it is still failing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
Calling createobject bypasses your project references, so you have a choice, you can try to create the instance with the ‘new’ operator, or continue using create object.
I’d advise against CreateObject.
Create object will look up that libraryName.objectName from the registry, debugging problems there is difficult.
Ps the dll must be registered with regsvr32
Pps beware 64bit processes calling 32bit dlls, they will always fail
