HELP! - Error 3633 during VBA CreateWorkspace

[Jeff Thomas]

I have a VBA macro in MS Word 97 Pro SR2 which tries to create an ODBCDirect
workspace with the following call:

dim odbcwork as workspace
.
.
.
set odbcwork = CreateWorkSpace("wkODBC", "","", dbUseODBC)

One a brand new installation of Windows 98 Second Edition with Word 97 SR2,
this call fails with an error "3633 - Cannot load dll '?????L?' "

If I go ahead and load MS Visual Studio 6.0 (minimal install) on the
workstation then the call succeeds. So, on our development machines it
works just peachy, but in real life it doesn't work at all.

I have made sure I loaded the latest mdac_typ.exe, double checked all the
DAO dll's and their registration. I also checked the ODBC dlls and exes for
version compat. but with no luck.

If you can help or you've run into anything similar please let me know asap.
Thanks,

Jeff Thomas
