Unable to initialize DAO/Jet db engine

[Andrew Sage]

Can some one help me please?

I've writen a program to access an Access database using DAO.
It works fine on the development machines - Windows 95, Windows NT - and it
works fine on a non development machine (ie VC++ 5.0 and DAO SDK never
installed) - a Windows 95 laptop.

The problem is I get the following error:

'Unable to initialize DAO/Jet db engine'

when the program runs on another Windows 95 machine.

The code I'm using is as follows:

CDaoDatabase m_daoDB;
m_daoDB.Open(m_pDoc->GetDataCore());

I've just discovered this problem with 2 days to go until beta release, so
I'm needing help real soon

Thanks,

Andrew

Sounds to me like you don't have all the right DLLs

Try to check your ODBC drivers if MS Access Database Jet Engine is there
(Control Panel/ODBC 32).

On your visual c cd... there is a directory called Redist. In there there is a
subdirectory called dao....run that on the computer you are having problems
with....it will install the Microsoft Jet 3.5 on the computer you are having
problems with.

Hope that helps

To make sure, DAO is correctly and completely installed on the target
machine, use Microsoft's Data Access Objects distribution DATAACC.EXE which
you can find on one of the MSDN CDs (it should be Disc 1 "...ODBC Drivers"
of "Development Platform - INTL").
