Hi Folks
I recently got back the message below form a company I suggested
supporting WINE with their software. Is there any answer - or is it, as
they suggest, a lost cause?
The error I get from WINE is:
RTG Bills (title)
ADO error 1AD
ActiveX component can't create object
[OK](button)
Is there anyway to have ActiveX & ADO work with WINE?
Regards,
Morgan.
