Hi. We're getting this error from an ASP app on an XP Pro system,

Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
/working_dbase/mathlab.asp, line 158

It's blowing up on the line where we instantiate an ADODB object (please see
below). The code runs fine on various other machines but bombs out on this
box. We've played with permissions to no avail. The IUSER account has List +
Read + Execute permissions. We even granted full control to Everyone. Is
there a way to reinstall the ASP engine on that machine? Your help is much
appreciated. Thanks.

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.ConnectionString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data
Source=C:\data\mathlab.mdb;"
objConn.Open

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
ConnectionString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data
Source=C:\data\mathlab.mdb;"
objConn.Open ConnectionString

It sounds as if you need to install/upgrade MDAC on this machine.

Thanks, Bob and Mike. We think the MDAC is the issue; however, when we
download the MDAC and try to run it, it gives error about the machine having
the latest version already. Is there a way to force the MDAC installation?
Maybe a refresh of the DLLs will fix this.

Go back to msdn and download the Component Checker. Follow the instructions
to have it check for problems with your MDAC installation.

Please reply to the newsgroup. This email account is my spam trap so I
don't check it very often. If you must reply off-line, then remove the

I am also getting this error in XP pro

Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
/cem/reports/AlwaysRequiredSteps.asp, line

But it works well in windows 2000.
This error points to this line in my code:

Set session("oApp") = Server.CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application.10")

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance!
