Hello,

Just a little message about a big problem introduced by Microsoft and it's W7 SP1.
If you use ADO (msado28.tlb for example) in your references DON'T UPGRADE to the SP1 of W7.

You won't notice any problem until you compile your exe and run it on a machine without W7 SP1 (W7 RTM, XP, Vista...). On this machine all your calls to ADO will fail !

I've spend a full day to discover the source of this problem. It's incredible, Microsoft have changed the Interfaces Id in msadoXX.tlb !

For more information about this :

Please notice that, if you don't install the W7 SP1 your program will work on all systems (including W7 SP1).

Feel free to add messages to the forum post above on the Microsoft site if you think it can help.

Thanks for the update
 
I have un-installed the SP1, spent hours trying to work through the problem.
 
What is Microsoft thinking of!!

It seems that this is realy a big problem for all applications that uses ADO and not only VB6 applications. I re compiled my app under Windows XP (VMWare) and do not have this problem. But i read, that microsoft updates all Windows versions: (of example Windows XP SP3)

I have exactly the same problem.
And since a few months, I compile all my VB6 apps in a VMWare XP (with no Service Pack)
No problems so.
But annoying
Come and try our application :

An alternative is to copy the pre-sp1 msado28.tlb and/or msado27.tlb (date 16-10-2010) to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\ado
This fixes the Problem Big smile

Hi,

Thought I'd say that this is no longer an issue and hasn't been for quite sometime! Microsoft released a backwards compatibility version of the msado28.tlb that resolves this. I have both a Windows XP machine and a Windows 7 SP1 and can confirm since using this file I've had no more issues.

Just thought I'd say as there's been no update on this post and it should be marked as resolved.
