Regsvr32 and DLL registration
I have a Windows XP Pro PC that won't allow me to register certain DLLs used
in my Access applications. Isn't regsvr32.exe "C:\Windows\system32\winmm.dll" the correct syntax? The exact error returned is: C:\Windows\System32\comdlg.dll was loaded, but the DLLRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered. This problem presented itself after a Windows XP installation repair, after that our Access applications all fail. It was then traced to a Library issue. Any suggesions appreciated. |

I cannot register or unregister either comdlg.dll or winmm.dll

Regsvr32 and DLL registration
Your syntax is fine, but only COM DLLs are registered in this manner. Non
COM DLLS do not contain a "DLLRegisterServer entry point" and attempting to register them will generate the error message you saw. There are other library and dll failure possibilities, but you didn't give enough information about the failures to address them. -- "Camile" wrote in message ...

Regsvr32 and DLL registration
So is the Windows' regsvr32 I have used a thousand times in my life not
adequate? Will the VBA project you suggested not throw errors? Even thought it uses regsvr32? I have never received this error before, only the success message. Is there a tool you can suggest to analyze & test DLLs? Or what process could I use to refresh all ? I can't run VB or VBA forms with code on this PC because of the library problem I'm chasing.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
That's what I needed to hear. My other information starts getting into Access 2000 & 2003. Both have the same problems in code like Using DoCmd.Requery "TSubtotal", or DoCmd.Close acForm, "Orders", acSaveYes as an Event Procedure behind a button, etc. Every move I make involving code seems to produce the error: The expression On Open you entered as the Event property setting produced the following error: Error Loading DLL. Apparently forms without code work without errors. Anything referring to code gives the error. So I made a fresh conversion of one access03 app to access2K, then tried to compile it. Again "Error in loading DLL". What other information could help? I don't have much more. All References in Access are normal without Missing File warning. I have 5 other PCs in the office that run these apps easily with only the addition of MSCOMCT2.OCX. "GTS" x wrote in message ... Your syntax is fine, but only COM DLLs are registered in this manner.

It sounds like some library dependency for Access or related components like
MDAC is damaged, or had bad registry data. I would try reinstalling Access on the problem machine. -- "Camile" wrote in message ... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... That's what I needed to hear.

If it helps,
My DLLs are not working on certain web pages either. Like Ebay, the URL shifts to http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyeBay and its really slow. "Camile" wrote in message ... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Yes I have, House call, Spybot, Stinger. Al of our computers operate behind
a server running Winproxy with up to the minute AV definitions. After my reinstall I found hard drive errors(3 month old drive) using Check Disk(error checking) it corrected thoese & finished. Then I ran the install again to hopefully repair/replace any missing or damaged files. The DLL problem has been unchanged through all of this. The problem that caused me to do the reinstall originally was a sudden failure to start. After the Windows splash screen it flashed a blue error screen with yellow text on the upper 1/3 of the display too quickly to read, then it returned to a black screen. "GTS" x wrote in message ...

Did you run chkdsk /r? Were there any bad sectors. I would run it again
now. Possibly a manufacturer drive test utility also. A failing hard disk could definitely explain the recurring problems. -- "Camile" wrote in message ... Yes I have, House call, Spybot, Stinger.
