octagon999 Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Pete, I get an error when trying to download the error fix for the ocx error from long ago. Trying to install SNROTE on my laptop and I'm getting that error. The error message says the file isn't available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradigm Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I don't see an obvious way to upload files here. But if you want to send me your email address somehow (via private board message perhaps), I'll send you the files you need directly.

Hughestrog Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 This was the link in the Boards supplement put together: http://zimacs.zetnet.co.uk/problems/textdisplay.html is this the one you tried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octagon999 Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Downloaded and saved the file. I'm getting an error that says... TDBG6.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered; a file is missing or invalid. Now what? And thanks for the help so far!

ali-t-akua Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Eternus posted this some time ago. I have copied it over. Download this: it really works! http://zimacs.zetnet.co.uk/problems/textdisplay.html This is supposed to deal with the TDBG6.OCX error.

octagon999 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Yeah. Sheesh, tried everything they said, including re-registering the DLL, and it still gives me that error. PETE??? Any ideas? This is your turn entry program. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Do you actually have the file somewhere on your computer? Perhaps under c:\windows\system\tdbg6.ocx ? I assume the files I emailed you didn't help? FWIW, this site has a copy of tdbg6.ocx (and a few others) for download and instructions to run "regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system\tdbg6.ocx" on it to register it, which it sounds like you've already done?: http://www.pfgbest.com/best/instructions.asp It is microsoft windows, so I'm sure you've rebooted a few dozen times? Bill likes it when people reboot. I don't suppose you have a copy of Visual Studio you feel like installing. At least you are not totally out in the cold like the Mac and Linux users.

octagon999 Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 The LATEST error is... When I try and edit my turn, I get the following error message in a popup window: Run-time error '438'. Object does not support this property or method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I've not seen that one but google shows tens of thousands of hits on it, especially if you leave the hyphen out. If you have time dig through some of those and see if any help. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&biw...me+error+%27438 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octagon999 Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Here;s what Microsoft says about it. Sounds like I have incompatible OCX files. So could I solve this by downloading compatible OCX'es? Run Time Error 438 - Object Doesn't Support this Property or Method The most common cause of error 438 is not maintaining binary compatibility between successive versions of your components. Each COM interface has an associated GUID that is called an interface ID (IID). Each coclass has an associated GUID that is called class ID (CLSID). When you compile an ActiveX component in Visual Basic, the CLSIDs and IIDs are compiled into the component's type library. Example A program that consists of a Visual Basic client and an ActiveX DLL is released to the user community. At a later time, additional functionality is to be added to the DLL component. The necessary modifications are made, and the ActiveX DLL is compiled without maintaining binary compatibility. When the DLL is released, the client that is trying to use the DLL will throw run time error 438. The reason this occurs is that when the DLL was compiled, a fresh set of GUIDs was compiled into the DLL, and the client has no reference to these new GUIDs. This is why it is important to maintain binary compatibility with the last-released version of the component when you are trying to release a newer version. Another example for the runtime error 438 would be including the wrong version of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) in the distribution package. For example, a Visual Basic 6 Service Pack 5 program is built on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 by using the latest version of MDAC that is present (version 2.6). When the distribution is built, an earlier version of MDAC (version 2.5) is used (unless MDAC 2.6 is downloaded), causing an error 438 to be thrown when the distributed program is run. Another scenario would be misspelled method or property names, and this scenario is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
