Hi, 

first this is VB NET Forum, for VB6 Questions look at: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbgeneral/thread/6a0719fe-14af-47f7-9f51-a8ea2b9c8d6b

i guess you are using some adodc or ado, so you need to check on the pcs where it doesn`t work, if the desired providers are installed, by the meaning of odbc,mdadc.Mark the thread as answered if the answer helps you. This helps others who have the same problem !
