Advanced Diary (a simple calendar/journaling program)installed fine, but when I go to run it the splash screen for the program shows up then I get an error box that says: Error Creating Object. Please verify that Microsoft Data Access Components 2.1 or later have been properly installed. The program stops there. A google search turned up this a download page for MDAC 2.8 here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6c050fe3-c795-4b7d-b037-185d0506396c&displaylang=en What I need to know is if I jump through the hoops to be able to download that 1) is it likely to fix the problem and 2) what do I do with it once it's downloaded, does it just go into the same folder of wine that the Advanced Diary program is in? Thanks for any help. Tricia
What version of wine are you using? Have you looked on bugzilla to see if there is a similar bug and/or filed on yourself? You can probably 'fix' this by installing MDAC 2.8. An easy way to see if this is the actual problem: $ sh http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks $ sh winetricks mdac28 Then try to run your program. This isn't a true fix, since it just installs the Microsoft MDAC, but should probably be fixed in wine. Again, look on bugzilla for an already filed bug, or file one yourself.
