SYMPTOMS
After you uninstall Outlook 98, your applications that use DAO fail to run. Also, the following error message appears in Visual Basic before it terminates:

Can't Find file DAO350.dll



CAUSE
Outlook 98 improperly installs and uninstalls DAO when it is installed during a full install. The uninstall automatically unregisters the DAO350.dll and DAO is no longer available to the system.



RESOLUTION
Do one of the following to work around this problem:  Re-install the DAO application that is no longer working.  If DAO350.DLL exists in the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO

then select Run from the Start menu and type the following:

Regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL

This re-registers DAO. 



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Outlook 98.
