Problem with Spanish version of NT

[Eduardo Zolezzi]

I am having a problem runing aspDB in an NT box with Spanish version of NT 4, Option Pack 4 and Mdac 2.1.
Everything was OK in my development box (Windows 95 and PWS and Option Pack 4, English version)
and also in two other NT boxes with NT, etc. in English version.

The component inicializes OK but when call the method aspDB, the following error is shown:

aspDB error '800a000d'
Type Mismach (in Spanish: No coinciden los tipos)
Line 251

I have check everything and have concluded that there is some kind of incompatability of aspDB
component and the Spanish version of NT.

Any suggestions to solve the problem? (we are in an Spanish speaking country, so installing NT in
English is not an option)

Thank you in advance for your help.

Eduardo,
Here are our notes on your error, "No coinciden los tipos"

ERROR:
User gets a Type Mismatch when running asp-test-pro.asp.
John Flueck had this problem with 1.11.23 Eval (Germany). This error
message occurred just when the navigation buttons should have displayed.


PROBABLE CAUSE:
NT Option Pack's _German_ Setup on NT as well as on Windows 95/98
copies/registers the localized Vb5Db.dll (Vb5De.dll, version 5.x) into
%windir%system(32). After that the described problem occurs - finally a
localisation problem, as assumed first.

To solve the problem, Vb5De.dll can be renamed or deleted, and either
the english version 5.x or 6.x of Vb5Db.dll need to be
copied/registered. If the library was called in the active session
already, a reboot is required before removing the localized version.

You are right. That's is the problem. I erased the file Vb5es.dll
and the program now runs very good.

Thanks a Lot.

I hope this helps.
It sounds like an incompatibility with a foreign language dll.
If you resolve your problem, PLEASE let us know how you did it!!

Thanks.

Mark.

Mark,
Thank you for your quick response and the solution to our problem.

As indicated in your notes, the problem with the language inconsistencies was solved by erasing the files vb5db.dll and vb5es.dll, installed by NT Option Pack 4, Spanish version, and copying the vb5db.dll file that came with aspDB (which I understand is an English version).

Registering vb5db.dll with regsvr32 is not necessary (and also not possible); it seems this dll is loaded when NT starts up. A reboot is required.

Thanks again Mark.
