PRB: Installing Outlook 98 Might Cause DAO Applications to Fail (195098)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 97
- Microsoft Visual Studio, Enterprise Edition 6.0
- Microsoft Outlook 98
- Microsoft Office 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q195098 SYMPTOMS
DAO programs that rely on the functionality of DAO versions greater than
3.50.3428 might not function correctly after you perform a full install of
Outlook 98. For example, if a Visual Basic version 5.0 or 6.0 applications,
or Visual C++ version 5.0 or 6.0 applications use DAO and Outlook 98 is
installed, the DAO application might fail to function properly.
CAUSE
Outlook 98 incorrectly installs DAO. It places an older version (3.50.3428)
of DAO in the \Windows\System directory and registers DAO to use it. The
newer version that was installed in the \Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO directory is left untouched, but the registry
settings for DAO map to the older version.
RESOLUTION
On the Start menu, select Run and type in the following command:
regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL
This restores the registry settings for DAO so that the newer DAO
components (the files in the Microsoft Shared\DAO folder) are used.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Outlook 98.
