CAUSE
This problem may occur if you have missing Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) files, corrupted MDAC files, or outdated MDAC files on your computer.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use either of the following methods:
Method 1: Register the required Dao360.dll file and the Msado15.dll file
You may have to register the Dao360.dll file and the Msado15.dll file by using the Regsvr32.exe program. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- In the Run dialog box, type the following commands in the Open box, and then click OK:
Regsvr32.exe "<<Dao360.dll_Path>>"
Regsvr32.exe "<<Msado15.dll_Path>>"
The<<Dao360.dll_Path>>placeholder is the absolute path of the Dao360.dll file.
The<<Msado15.dll_Path>>placeholder is the absolute path of the Msado15.dll file.
The following examples show how you may specify an absolute path:
Regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\Dao360.dll"
Regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Common Files\system\ado\Msado15.dll"
