SYMPTOMS

When trying to run an application using Remote Data Object (RDO), the first line of code that references RDO generates error number 429 listed below:

ActiveX component cannot create object.

CAUSE

This may be due to a registration problem with the Msrdo20.dll file. This error can also be caused by mismatched DLLs. For instance, the application may find and use the wrong version of a DLL, such as ODBC32.DLL.

RESOLUTION

Manually re-register the .dll using the REGSVR32 utility. To do this, select Run from the Start menu and enter the following line:

REGSVR32 c:\winnt\system32\Msrdo20.dll

It may be necessary to include a path to Regsvr32.exe and/or modify the path to the Msrdo20.dll file.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
