SYMPTOMS

On a computer running Windows Server 2003, you use Data Form Wizard to generate a data form for a Visual J++ application. When you try to load the form in Design view, you may receive the following error message:
Unable to show the form designer because the following error has occurred: com.ms.wfc.core.WFCException: Failed remote creation of coclass com/ms/wfc/data/adodb/Connection: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException.
The code view for the form has been shown instead. Fix the error, and then try to view this form again.
This problem occurs only in Design view. However, the form that the Data Form Wizard generated works as expected when you start the application.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, add a new form to the project, and then open and close the form in Design view. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. In the Project Explorer, right-click Project, point to Add and then click Add Form.
  2. On the New tab, click Form in the right pane of the dialog box, and then click Open.
  3. Double-click the form to open it in Design view.
  4. In the Designer, close the new form.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
