E_unexpected(ox8000FFFF) error

Mano84 · 11-04-2008, 09:02 PM

Hi,
I have used VS2005 and dotnet framework 2 to make a windows application that will connect to Access database and generate word documents based on the templates and access DB data.
I was able to install it on my machine and other machines. However, When i install on the client machine, i get an error "e_unexpected(0x8000FFFF)" as soon as i run the application.
Could anyone help.
Thanks,
Manoj.

how are you trying to connect to the database ?
Does it provide any stack trace ? Since it works on your machine, have you installed .NET Framework in the client machine ? Also when you test in your machine, is the database located on the local machine or on another machine ?

I am using OLEDB data provider. and connecting with the connstring = "provider = microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0; data source" = database_path ";"

connobj= new oledbconnection(connstring)

connobj.open() 'error occurs here.

It doent provide any stack trace as per my knowledge. It will only throw this error when the application is run.
Dotnet framework is installed on client machine. Access Database is present on local machine. however the client wants it to be on shared drive.
Thanks,
Manoj.

did you change the database path accordingly when running on the client machine, since it is on a shared drive ? Also is the database service running on the shared machine and make sure it is not blocked by a firewall.

make sure you can normally access the database on the shared path, using explorer.
