VB6 app using VFPOLEDB Provider to access free tables (.DBF Files). Using
the UPDATE-SQL Command to update records. Code works perfectly in the IDE
and when the compiled .EXE is run from the Visual Studio\VB98 folder.

However, when the app is installed to a new folder via the Setup program
from the P&DW it fails on the Update statement. I get a Windows error
window that says the "appname has encountered a proble and cannot continue"
and the app aborts. Sending the error report does not result in any
additional information.

I have verified that MDAC_TYP (Vers. 2.5) and VFPOLEDB.DLL (Vers.
9.0.0.3504)are in the P&DW's list of programs to be installed.

What might be causing this situation?? Thanks.

Resolved and my apologies. The problem was not the P&DW. It was related to
a format and field name conversion of the original .DBF file to the file used
by the VB app.
