The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When running an application that uses Remote Data Objects (RDO) the following
errors may occur:
"MSRDO20.OCX Not registered."
No errors were encountered when installing the application.
-or-
An error occurred while registering the file MSRDO20.DLL MSRDC20.OCX
CAUSE
=====
In order for RDO to be properly registered, ODBC must be installed prior to
installing the Visual Basic application.
RESOLUTION
==========
Install ODBC prior to installing the Visual Basic application that uses RDO. On
the Visual Basic Product CD-ROM in the \ODBC directory is an application that
will install ODBC. For Visual Studio, Disk One \VB\ODBC is the location. The
ODBC installation program and it components are re-distributable.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Visual Basic 5.0.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This problem also occurs in Visual Basic 4.0 when using MSRDO32.DLL. ODBC must
be installed first.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Create an application that includes MSRDO20.
2. Run the application Setup Wizard to produce setup images.
3. Install the application on a computer that does not have ODBC installed.
4. Run the application.
