[Stephen Kowski]

thanks there is more to come.....

[Pierson]

I am sure you will address this in the next read-me, to update, do you just run the program installer and then HotSync?

here is microsoft explanatino

OFF2000: Error Message: Run-time Error 429: ActiveX Component Can't Create Object
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Project 2000
Microsoft Excel 2000
Microsoft Access 2000
Microsoft Word 2000
Microsoft Outlook 2000
Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
Microsoft Visio 2000 Standard Edition
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications

This article was previously published under Q281848
SYMPTOMS
When running code that calls the Common Dialog Control (Comdlg32.ocx) on a computer other than the one on which the code was developed, you may receive the following error message:

Run-time error 429: ActiveX component can't create object.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the following conditions are true:
The control is called from Visual Basic for Applications code by using the New CommonDialog command.
The computer on which you are running the code has a run-time license instead of a design-time license for this control.
With a run-time license, you can load the control but you cannot create or insert it. The design-time license for this control that is included with the Microsoft Office 2000 Developer Edition, Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, and Microsoft Visual Studio. It is not included with other versions of Microsoft Office 2000.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, wrap the control inside another control, such as a UserForm. To do this, follow these steps:
In the Visual Basic Editor, add a UserForm to your project.
Insert a common dialog control on the UserForm. For example, use the following code to call the common dialog control on the UserForm:
Sub test()
UserForm1.CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
End Sub

Save the workbook.
Becuase the control is wrapped in the UserForm and resides inside the project, you can now call it in run-time mode.

I'm using the newest version available on your site. Also, I'm installing it on a Palm OS.

[Stephen Kowski]

Ok well we are looking into the problem now. Just an update, probably sometime next week the final version will be out and this will be taken care of....i apologize for any problems this has caused.

I haven't got a chance to look yet, but have you tried deleting the application completely and reinstalling it....?

[nevek89]

It installs great on the palm, it wont even start installation on PC. Please let me know when you get the update out I love your prog and we are leaving for our only regional next week. Alternativly could you tell us the activex controls you used, if we install the activex controls that you used we might be able to use the program.

I'm so sorry for those of you that have been having trouble. For those of you who don't know, I'm the primary developer of the software. The only ActiveX component that is used in the installation is the "Palm ComStandard 1.0 Type Library". The only reason I can think of that you wouldn't be able to install the conduit components is either beacuse you haven't run the "PalmCOMInstaller.exe" that was included with the installation. This also requires that you do have the Palm desktop software installed already. If you are still having trouble after installation, there are two things you should know. The first is that in my retardation, I assumed that most people would have some version of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) installed. I used the Data Access Objects (DAO) from a two year old version of MDAC. I assumed most people have hat it put in at some point, anyways I believe almost all versions of windows ship standard with this. But if you are having this problem, you can download MDAC from microsoft's download site, you know microsoft.com/downloads. Just search for 'mdac', any of the results will work, just don't get one of the service packs or add on's instead. Additionally, I have recently found out that there is a data mapping error that occurs silently on some systems! I feel really bad about this and apologize to anyone who has had this happen. The symptoms include appearingly "jarbled" data when synced. Please check for this, if it is happening to your system, don't sync anymore handhelds. I have isolated the problem and will have an update out in just a few days. I also will be releasing the desktop software that goes with this package, and will feature web syncing! If the beta can be ready before the next set of regionals, I will release them together. If not, then I will get the syncing update out ASAP.

[nevek89]

Ive installed MDAC and Newest version of palm desktop.

I managed to get the heatwave conduit installed, but when it syncs it runs the hwavpdb copiler (i think) and it gets that 429 activex error.

We're leaving for our regional at 5am on thursday, if you can help please do asap. It will be greatly appreciated.

I believe I've corrected the synching problem with Palm Handhelds, and have a half-baked solution for retrieving the data from PocketPC Handhelds. Would those of you still having trouble after this E-Mail me personally so I can help you individually.

Thank you for your patience,

P.S. The update should be up in the WhitePapers shortly, and on our server by tomorrow...
