438: Object Doesnt Support This Property Or Method
I have a couple of classes here, one is a downlaoder, and the other is a download manager

the functionality is such that a downloader could operate without a download manager, but not the other way round. the user interacts with the downloader, and the manager is mostly silent, but emits events that the user can listen to if they wish. the two communicate using events;

an attempt to download when a download is already in progress, results in the url being passed to the download manager, which queues it. when the downloader emits a completed event, the manager will check its queue, and if there are remaining entries, they will be downloaded

each class hence has access to the other (im using class modules).. creating a new downloader causes the creation of a new manager. at the moment, im getting error 438 in the Class_initialize of the downloader.. it successfully does a:

Set dm = new DownloadManager 'dm is a Private dm as DownloadManager

the class_initialize for the Download Manager runs correctly.
once created, the manager is told who it's owner is, witha dm.setowner(me)
but instead of going to the SetOwner(ByRef owner as Downloader), the class_terminate of the manager is called (why?) and then the error is shown

any explanation?

Object Doesnt Support Expected Interface
I just changed on of my DLLs subs.

It was a change within the sub itself, none of the parameters changed and no new subs where added and none where removed.

Am I going to get an error message like this every time I modify a dll? to the point that I will have to recompile the applications that use that DLL for it to work?

if so doesnt that defeat the whole purpose of DLLs?

OR am I just a moron who has some setting in his compiler that forces me to recompile every time I mod a dll?

Object Does Not Support This Property Or Method???
I've made a class and now im trying to use it in a form. But it keeps giving me this error (438)! I know there is something I'm doing wrong but I dont know what. Here is a sample:

Object Doesn't Support This Property Or Method
Hello everyone!

I have a strange problem:

In my company we have to update a program (exe+dll): regsvr32 /u ..., copy&pase, regsvr32 ...

On (Windows-)updated computers this programm works fine.
On old computers (no windowsupdates,...) this program says:
Object doesn't support this property or method

If I replace the new files with the old ones (+ regsvr32...) everything is alright again!?!

Does anyone know what the reason could be?

Thanks in advance!

For Each: Object Doesn't Support This Method Or Property
I've got a collection class that I add a collection of objects to. I add them like so:


Code:
Dim TheCollection as MyCollection
Dim ThisRecord as ClassRecord

With rsLog
Do Until .EOF
Set ThisRecord = TheCollection.Add(!Heat, Date, !Etc)
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
rsLog.Close

In the Collection class I have the following:


Code:
Public Property Get NewEnum() As IUnknown
'this property allows you to enumerate
'this collection with the For...Each syntax
Set NewEnum = mCol.[_NewEnum]
End Property

I then want to loop through the collection and get all the objects back. I'm trying to use a For Each statement and I keep getting the error: "object doesn't support this method or property" Can anyone tell me why?


Code:
For Each ThisRecord In TheCollection
MsgBox ThisRecord!Date
Next

COM Object Doesn’t Support Property Or Method
Hi
I've created ActiveX.EXE COM server (TestComp2) that has 2 classes
1. cls1 that Ipmplements IDescriptionSet interface
2. cls2 that Imlements IDescription interface

When I declare a variable of the appropriate interface it gives me an
access to the property “Text” such as
Dim oDS As IDescriptionSet
Set oU = CreateObject("TestComp2.cls1")
Print oO.Item(1).Text
But when I declare a variable of type "Object" it gives me an error:
"Run - Time error 483 object doesnt support this property or method" such as:
But object does support oO.Item(1).IDescription_Text

Dim oO As Object
Dim oDSet As IDescriptionSet

Set oDSet = CreateObject("TestComp2.cls1")
Set oO = oDSet
Print oO.Item(1).Text < -Run - Time error 483 object doesn’t support this property or method"

The code example is down below.
If you know why the object is looking for "IDescription_Text" instead of "Text" property please let me know.
Thanks.

Object Doesn&#039;t Support Property Or Method
I am getting a baffling error in a program I am working on. It is not the error itself but when it is occurring.

The error I am getting is “Object doesn’t support property or method.” And I get an OK or Help option….If I press OK the program continues on normally.

It is not a run-time error that can be debugged or even trapped it seems to be a VB error. The problem is it happens at random times and in no set pattern…when I break into code (ctrl-break) all the objects are set to valid properties and are using valid methods. I am at a loss.

Is there anyway to suppress this message? I have tried on error resume next statements to no avail….any suggestions?

Compile DLL/Object Doesn't Support This Property Or Method
Hello all.

First off, I'm not a VB programmer. I'm a Java programmer. I have been asked by my company to create a new application based on an existing application we already have. The existing application was written in VB6, VB.NET, and C#.

I have made a change to a DLL (in VB6) in the old application (I added a function) and selected "File, Make myfile.dll" It appears to compile and create the DLL okay, but when I try to use the new function, I get the following error:

Object doesn't support this property or method: myfile.Function()

If you need any more information I'll gladly provide it, but I'm not sure how much you need. I'm 100% sure I'm doing something wrong, or I'm missing a step. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Access 2000 - Error 438 - Object Doesn't Support This Property Or Method
I have an Access 2000 database with an embedded Common Dialog control.

The control loads a windows explorer style dialog box to browse for a file. On my machine this works fine. however, on another machine using Access 2000 it comes up with the error as detailed in the title.

I have checked for missing references in the code, but this is not the case.

Can anyone shed any light on why this may be happening - it doesnt happen in Access 97 by the way and it seems to be completely random in 2000!

Many Thanks.....

Error Message &"Object Doesn't Support This Property Or Method&"
When i trry to populate my listview i get a runtime error 438 saying "Object doesn't support this property or method" . I have 4 columns in my listview and this error occured for my last column. Can anyone help me with this?
This is the code i use to populate the listview.

Setting A Public Sub: &"Object Doesn't Support This Property Or Method&" Error *SOLVED*
I get this error when I tried to set a Public Sub: "Object doesn't support this property or method"

It was this:

VB Code:
Public Sub CenterForm(Frm)Frm.Move (Screen.Width - Frm.Width) / 2, (Screen.Height - Frm.Height) / 2End Sub


I only have two forms so I can just use it twice but I learned Public Subs and Modules today so I want to try it this way

I tried to put it at declaration part, a module, and I even changed Public to Private to nothing but they didn't seem to work.

It says that the error is on the whole line of

VB Code:
Frm.Move (Screen.Width - Frm.Width) / 2, (Screen.Height - Frm.Height) / 2


What is wrong with it? I tried changing Frm to Form to X. Didn't work also.

Any helps appreciated...

Edit:

It worked when I got rid of (Frm) and changed the Frm's with Me and worked on just one form cause I didn't put it in a module.

But when I did, it said, "Invalid use of Me Keyword"

On

VB Code:
Me.Move (Screen.Width - Me _ 'Error on this Me..Width) / 2, (Screen.Height - Me.Height) / 2

&"object Does Not Support Property Of Method&" Error
i am making a simple game right now i get a

"object does not support property of method" error.

I got the code for the transparency and image loading from a demo so i dont completly understand it. Run the attached files to see what the error and where it is in the code. The demo i got it from worked so i dont no why it does not for me.

URLDownloadToFile And IBindStatusCallback And &"Object Does Not Support This Method&"
attached is a rough ActiveX EXE that my app uses to download a file from the web if it requires updating.

When the code, in the class download, is:

VB Code:
lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFile(0, "http://LocalHost/Download/" & AppName, "C:" & AppName, 0, 0)

Then the code works sport on!! Exactly how I want it to.

However, since I want a prog bar and the ability to cancel the download I need to pass it a callback address, so I use:

VB Code:
lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFile(Me, "http://LocalHost/Download/" & AppName, "C:" & AppName, 0, Me)

This works for Klienma...his code is almost the same as mine.
However...when I run my app with this changed code the URLDownload API line causes a "Object doesn't support this property or method"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I have been working on this for 6hrs now and am just going round in circles. I have no idea what is different.
I am referencing the file olelib.tlb in my app, which is what everyone else does.

So why does my code cause an error...???

I am so in need of help.

ADO Command Object Returns A &"Method 'Execute' Of Object '_Connection' Failed&" Error
Hi you all,
I have a VB6 app using an Access XP back end.
I Use a function which returns a Read Only, Disconnected ADO Recordset (used to populate lists, combos etc. using minimal resources).
I use it all the time without a hitch.
It started returning a "Method 'Execute' of object '_Connection' failed" error called with a SQL which works just fine when it's used as a query in the Access DB.
Why should the Execute method fail if the SQL works well in Access' Query design window?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanx!
Guy

The function is:
Function GetDisconnectedRS(ByVal sSQL As String) As ADODB.Recordset
Dim adoRS As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim ucmdGetDisconnectedRS As ADODB.Command

Set ucmdGetDisconnectedRS = New ADODB.Command
With ucmdGetDisconnectedRS
.ActiveConnection = oConnect.ConnnectionObject
.CommandType = adCmdText
.CommandText = sSQL

Set adoRS = .Execute()

End With

Set adoRS.ActiveConnection = Nothing
Set GetDisconnectedRS = adoRS

SQL:
SELECT at.ActualTestID, at.PatientID, at.TestID, at.atDate, t.testDescription, p.patFirstName, p.patSurname
FROM (tblActualTests at INNER JOIN tblTests t ON at.TestID = t.TestID) INNER JOIN tblPatients p ON at.PatientID = p.PatientID WHERE at.atDate BETWEEN #02/08/2007# AND #02/08/2007# AND Not atDone
ORDER BY at.atDate DESC, at.TestID, p.patSurname

Just a note: The function works fine few code statements before it fails, with SQLs such as "SELECT DISTINCT patFirstName FROM tblPatients ORDER BY patFirstName".
I've tryed to run "SELECT * FROM tblActualTests" and it does work but hey, what's wrong with a few Joins?
And besides which the function didn't fail me in the past with much more complex SQLs.

Thanx,
Guy

Object Does Not Support Automation.
Hi,

This is my first post on this mailing list. I have
encountered a small situation and was hoping that the
wizards on this list would be able to provide some
guidance to overcome this.
Here goes.
I'm working on a VB project tht involves four layers.
The database itself, a Data Access Layer (DAL) dll
that will handle all interactions with the database, a
Business Logic Layer (BLL) dll that handles all issues
related to the data that is being passed into and out
of the database and the front end in ASP, as this is a
web enabled application.
The setup I am using to develop is as follows - Win 98
SE, VB 6.0 Enterprise Edition for writing both the DAL
and BLL, Personal Web Server running on this machine
for handling the ASP scripts.
I have been compiling both the dlls and testing the
ASP files using IE 5.5 and Navigator 4.7 without any
problems. Recently I decided to setup the PWS on a
different Win 98 machine and test it out over a
network. The situation came up at this point. The
dlls were copied and registered on this second
machine. But the moment I tried accessing the ASP
files through the browser it gave me the error that
"Object does not support automation".
After a lot of time trying to figure this out, I
copied both the dll projects onto the second machine
and compiled the dlls on this machine and registered
them again. Now they run without any problems.
Can someone please explain the situation to me.

The DAL dll references the following libraries
Reference=*G{F5078F18-C551-11D3-89B9-0000F81FE221} #3.0#0#C:WINDOWSSYSTEMMSXML3.DLL#Microsoft

The BLL dll references the following libraries

I have found many, many discussions of this problem on the internet, but not one solution.

Transaction Support For Command Object?
Hi people!

I'm having some difficulties with implementing transactions in one of my apps. What i want to do is iteratavely exectute SQL statements in a command object, and put a begin transaction, end transaction around all the updates. Some code to illustrate:
(NB. The SQL statements are all updates)

PHP Code:



dim Conn as ADODB.Connection
dim Cm as ADODB.Command
dim allDone as Boolean


Private Sub sub1()
'(set up the connection, then bind the command to it....)

conn.begintrans
allDone = True
for i = 0 to ubound sql_array
    if execute_sql(Cm, sql_array(i)) = false then
        allDone = False
        exit for
    endif
endif

if allDone = true then
    conn.RollbackTrans
else
    conn.committrans
endif
.
.
end sub

Private function execute_sql(Comm as ADODB.Command, sql as String)
    on error goto Grrrrrrr
    comm.comandtest = sql
    comm.execute
    execute_sql = true
    exit function
Grrrrrrr:
    err.clear
    execute_sql = False
    exit function
end function 





At the moment i'm getting a very vague error at the 'begintrans' line, so i'm starting to think that i can't use the Command object in this way. Are there any known issues here? Maybe i'm using the Wrong connection string?

Thanks for any help!

ActiveX EXE &amp; GetObject Support &amp;Running Object Table (ROT)
I want my ActiveX EXE Server to support the GetObject function. For this the objects that are inside this EXE need to get registered in the ROT-table. To do this I think I need to make some API Calls. Does anybody know which API calls to make so that my ActiveX Server is an single-instance objects server. I looked in the MSDN library and found some comments about the API's : RegisterActiveObject, RevokeActiveObject. But I can't find any documentation anywhere?? Please help me !!!!!

This EXE Server is like an Observer.

All help is greatly appreciated as the deadline is getting cloeser and closer

Method '~' Of Object '~' Failed
I've looked trough the whole internet and didnt find any usefull informations.

This error comes up for multiple reason, and for my case it's not because the program is open twice I'm pretty sure it's a problem with ADO object as stated there:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;255986

I noticed this thing happen only on WinXP computers without VB installed...

I tryed to deploy with install shield and with the widzard that come with VB and it dont work... I tryed to change the references from ADO 2.7 to 2.6 but it didnt change...

anyone can help? i've been searching for this for almost a month, now im desesperate.

Method ~ Of Object ~ Failed
Ok, Here is a question for all of you VB Experts:

I am using VB 6.0 SP5. I have a DLL written in VB that generates an Excel spreadsheet using automation. In this case, it is a spreadsheet for a Parts Requisition. When I create a new parts requisition and generate the spreadsheet, there is no problem. When I exit the dialog box and edit the same requsition and try to generate it again, then I get the above error.

This problem only happens when I run the front end application in the VB IDE. It does NOT happen if I run the DLL in a separate VB session to try to debug it. It also does not happen if I compile the front end into an executable and run the executable. It only occurs if the front end is being ran in a single VB session.

Since it does not occur in the Exe, that makes it not so important, but I would still like to know why it is happening and what fix there is for it.
Thanks.

On Using The Create.Object() Method
Hi all,

Since I started programming with VB6, I have always used the Create.Object() method to load a Word or Excel application. For instance:

Code:
Dim xl as Object, wd as Object
Set xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set wd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
...
I have a question at this point. What is the difference between creating a reference to the Microsoft Word/Excel 11.0 Library and using an Object type to work with office applications?

On one side, no erros whatsoever have ever been raised with the CreateObject() method. On the other side, it does not mean that erros don't exist. Could anyone tell me any tips I should keep in mind and any crucial differences I should be aware of? (I have been programming with VB6 and Office Appl. since 2002).

Method '~'of Object'~' Failed!
Hi there i havent been programming in VB6 for very long and when ive been trying out bits of sample code off the net i getting the error:

Code:
Project failed to build!
Method '~'of Object'~' failed!
This is a very unhelpfull error message as theres not hint as to what might be causing the error or where the problem is located.
Can anyone tell me what its about ?
Can you debug code with this error?
Thanks.

Method '~' Of Object '~' Failed
I get this error on startup of app. I'm sure I don't have something referenced right, but I can't seem to figure it out. Help would be appreciated.

**Module1**
Public con As New ADODB.Connection
Public cmd As New ADODB.Command
Public rs As New ADODB.Recordset

Public Sub StartConnections()
If con.State = 1 Then
con.Close
Else
con.Open "DSN=****;uid=***;pwd=******;"
End If
End Sub


**load of mainform**
Dim crysApp As New CRAXDRT.Application

Method ~ Of Object ~ Failed
Hi all

While starting Visual Basic 6.0 IDE, an error message is thrown. It says

"Method '~' of object '~' failed"

After that when I try to run my program, it gives a compile error:

"Object Library Not Registered"

What could be the cause for that. will I be needed to reinstall the vb 6.0 or is it the problem related to SP5

Thanks

Object &amp; Method Charts
Does anyone know of a website that provides ASP and VB Object charts. These are the charts that list Objects, Methods, & Events and are usually inclueded as a huge posted when you purchase the software.

I am specifically looking for an image, not anything done in just ascii.

Thanks.

Method '~' Of Object '~' Failed
hi guys,

what is this error. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't.

Method '~' Of Object '~' Failed
Hi guys

I know this question has been asked millions of times, but I feel I need to ask it again...

I'm having problems using late binding in VB. Now I know that Microsoft has confirmed it to be a bug, (what a laugh... their resolution is to use early binding... WHAT'S THE POINT OF LATE BINDING THEN!?!?!?) but I still need to fix this up.

The thing is... I have about 80 DLL's, and 60 OCX's that I use in my app by use of late binding. Some of the OCX's use some of the DLL's.

These are highly integrated DLL's and OCX's, and I require it to be late bound for upgrade purposes, as compiling all of the code in a single app will result in the EXE being 140MB+... ???

This only happens some times, but when running the app through the VB IDE, I get an error when clicking on something:

Code:
Method '~' of object '~' failed

Automation error -2147417848

When I break this line in the IDE, I can just hit F5 again, and it goes past the line, executing the function successfully. It's definately not a coding error, as it runs past the line on the second attempt. It's as if the DLL is not properly bound... Bare in mind that this does not happen on a single line all the time. This happens all over the place, but randomly... there's not once in a week where it will happen on the same line.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas??? I'm begging...

Method ~ Of Object ~ Failed. Can Anyone Help?
Hello all,

I have written an application in VB6 that opens a word document (a template) and performs "find and replace" on data that i pass in. My application is used by external users who log on to our network via Citrix. A few of the users get the error message "Method ~ of Object ~ Failed" (error number -2147023113). The bit of code that this occurs is below:

Do While wrdDoc.Content.Find.Execute( _
FindText:="@" & strReplaceField & "@", _
MatchCase:=False, _
MatchWholeWord:=True, _
ReplaceWith:=strReplacement, _
Replace:=True)
Loop

As fas as i know, its nothing to do with Printer settings or anything, it just seems to be the Execute statement above. Anybody any ideas as to how i can prevent this?

Much appreciated
Nev

Method '~' Of Object '~' Failed
Hiiii
I have this problem.....
I am opening a Excel file through VB. But In some Machines it gives the following error...

Method '~' of Object '~' failed

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this error.....]


Thanx
Sam

Method '~' Of Object '~' Failed
Method '~' of Object '~' Failed

Do you know why Iwould be getting this message on this line? If I run it out of the IDE, it works fine. But if I run the compiled app, I get the above message.


VB Code:
WshShell.Run "chown.exe -R " & UserName & " " & ServerName & shareName & UserName & "*.*", 1, Truertn = Shell("files/chown.exe -R" & strUser & " " & strFolderPath, vbHide)

Method Of Object Failed
First off, here's my code:

Private Sub cmdPrintContract_Click()
' frmContract.Caption = "Print Contract for Cater Number: " & lblCaterNumber.Caption
'frmContract.txtDate.Text = Date

Dim Menu As String

Fill_Menu

rs2.Edit
rs2("Menu") = frmContract.lblMenu.Caption
rs2.Update

Delete_Database

Fill_Database

Dim wrd As Word.Application
If txtTotalKids.Text = "" Then
Set wrd = New Word.Application
wrd.Documents.Open (App.Path + "contract-adults.doc")
Else
Set wrd = New Word.Application
wrd.Documents.Open (App.Path + "contract-children.doc")
End If
wrd.Visible = True
wrd.Activate
End Sub

This works FLAWLESSLY on my computer, but when I install the packaged application on my work computer (also running Windows XP and Office XP) it gives me an error that "Method of ~ Object Failed". It then points to either of the bold lines. I'm guessing its some kind of missing driver or DLL, but the two computers are identical in every way.

I should also point out that when I package the program, it says something about my .EXE being old and I've tried using the one I made and a recompiled one, but no luck. Like I said, the program works FLAWLESSLY in Debug and Packaged/Installed mode on the computer I coded it on. I even installed Visual Basic 6 on the work computer and it won't still won't run in either mode. Can someone help me please!!?!

I almost forgot. Basically, the problem is in opening Word. It says something about the last time it tried to open this document blah blah blah. Then no matter what I choose, it says the Method Object Failed (or MOF error, as I now call it). The error is in opening Word and I'm stuck!

Method ~ Of Object ~ Failed
for some reason i'm getting this error when using this code on another pc (win98):


VB Code:
Dim f As Object Set f = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")f.CopyFile "c:lah.txt", "LPT1"


it works find on my pc. i've tried setting a reference to the Scripting runtime instead of using CreateObject, but that just says "Object variable or With block variable not set". i've also tried copying my version of scrrun.dll (Scripting Runtime DLL) to the other pc, and registering it, but it still doesn't work. any ideas?
