ObjectDBX Dilema

[Anonymous]

After much reading on ObjectDBX, I followed "The Wonder Llama's" ObjectDBX Example (http://www.cadvault.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2881) and created my app, which work fine on my machine, but when I try and use the application from another machine it fatals autocad.

I tracked the problem to AXDB15.TLB being referenced, is this correct ?
Because if I reference axdb15.dll I don't get the fatal and all works well.....??

The reason I ask is
Quote:
Just to be clear -
you DON'T reference axdb15.dll
you DO reference AXDB15.TLB

taken from the link above.

Can someone clarify this or give me hint as to why I have this issue ?

VBA doesn't reference DLLS it references type libraries. Type libraries can exist in either a DLL/OCX or a .TLB file. So, the problem is that the AxDb15.dll is not registered on the problem system. -- http://www.caddzone.com AcadXTabs: MDI Document Tabs for AutoCAD 2004/2005 http://www.acadxtabs.com "Spageddie" wrote in message news:16839440.1095887896529.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum1.autodesk.com... > After much reading on ObjectDBX, I followed "The Wonder Llama's" ObjectDBX Example (http://www.cadvault.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2881) and created my app, which work fine on my machine, but when I try and use the application from another machine it fatals autocad. > > I tracked the problem to AXDB15.TLB being referenced, is this correct ? > Because if I reference axdb15.dll I don't get the fatal and all works well.....?? > > The reason I ask is > Quote: > Just to be clear - > you DON'T reference axdb15.dll > you DO reference AXDB15.TLB > > taken from the link above. > > Can someone clarify this or give me hint as to why I have this issue ?

I don't believe so...but how would one go about registering the DLL on approx 50 machines?
Is there a way to do it through the coding ?

What version of AutoCAD and do you have AutoCAD running when you try to use DBX? You should not need to register it. -- Mike ___________________________ Mike Tuersley CADalyst's CAD Clinic Rand IMAGINiT Technologies ___________________________ the trick is to realize that there is no spoon...

On Local Error Resume Next If Int(Val(AutoCAD.Version)) = 15 Then Set Temp = ThisDrawing.Application.GetInterfaceObject("ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument") If Err Then Reg = Application.Path + "\" + "AXDB15.DLL" Ret = Shell("REGSVR32 /s " + Chr$(34) + Reg + Chr$(34), 0) Err.Clear End If End If On Error GoTo 0 Terry

Well lets look at them. > Reg = Application.Path + "\" + "AXDB15.DLL" That smells like AutoCADs path to the dll eh? > Ret = Shell("REGSVR32 /s " + Chr$(34) + Reg + Chr$(34), 0) A dummy return variable. Back to work. Terry
