You likely need to install the RDO component on the new computer.

Note the section on RDO in this article.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;213846#XSLTH3148121122120121120120
Using this you should be able to create an install package.

My advice is to create a separate install for RDO only. Helps keep your
sanity. <smile>

RDO is considered 'obselete' by MS.

You may be able to substitute the RDO with newer ADO technologies.

Actually I mistyped something in the original package, the error occurs not
while compiling, but when i run the project with f5. If I try to compile, the
error is "compile error: access denied"  on  the same line in
rdoEnvironments(0).

I do have rdo components on my machine, but for some reason they dont work.
Reinstalling them havent done me any good.

After google gived me multiple hits with the same problem but no solution, I
think I just give up.

Thanks for the info on the install package thingy though, never used it
before, so even if it didnt help me in this problem, it will come in handy
later. : )

Actually the database connection was written originally in dao (by someone
else than me) and luckily for me the dao code still exists. To maintain my
sanity, ill think ill migrate back to even more obsolete technology : )

Thanks for the help,

Amos

To deter any future 'flames'. I want to state for the record that "obsolete"
is MS's word, not mine. <g>

There is still a ton of developers using DAO with well proven performance
and stability. It may be an old Ford pickup going on its third bed-liner,
but it still gets the job done. <g>
