Visual Basic & System Files
Some users may find that when they try and run the programmes downloaded from
this website that they do not have a complete installation of visual basic
runtime files on their system. Below is a list of useful files. Download them
(right click and "save as...") into your system directory (usually
c:\windows\system or c:\windows\system32),
then register the file by opening the "Run" dialogue (under the Start
menu) and typing: regsvr32 what-ever-file (see this
picture for an example). Your programme should now run!
comdlg32.ocx
tabctl32.ocx
AResize.ocx
msjet40.dll
 All Visual basic
runtime files: vbrun60sp6.exe (just double click it
and all will be installed automatically). Use this one first if you're not sure
what's going on.
Microsoft Data Access Components
(MDAC; with thanks to MacroPool)
MDAC is a widely used Windows system component that implements database
connectivity features. MDAC is required by many Windows programs that implement
database features. These programmes should have been installed with ClinTools.
However, in case of some problems here is some further information:
- Windows XP/2000/Me already contain MDAC by default, but it can get
broken under certain circumstances.
- Windows 98/NT 4.0 don't contain MDAC by default, so users of these
Windows versions must install MDAC first.

How to Repair MDAC 2.81 under Windows XP with SP2
- WinXP with Service Pack 2 will create a fuss if you need to reinstall MDAC
because it will think that it is already there. Therefore, follow this guide
if you have any problems
- Open the folder C:\Windows\inf and locate the file mdac.inf.
Note: Your Windows folder could be named differently, e.g. C:\WinXP
- Right-click the file mdac.inf and click Install.
- When prompted for a location, point to C:\Windows\servicepackfiles\i386
- When prompted for the file handler.reg, either point to
C:\Program files\Common files\System\msadc or put the Windows XP CD in
your CD-ROM drive.
This reinstalls / repairs MDAC 2.81 under Windows XP SP2.
Further Optional Steps
- Download and install
MS Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8
- Run MacroPool's

If you require more files search the web for
them - they're all there. I suggest visiting the "dlldump"
or search for the file using
Google. |
