SW tries to install DAO

SW tries to install DAO

SW tries to install DAO

(OP)
Hello guys,

I have installed SW2005 Pro SP3 on my computer: P4 2.6GHz Windows XP SP2.

When I open a new SW session and click on Hole Wizard icon, SW tries to install DAO. I have to click Cancel several times before using Hole Wizard.

Please let me know what is DAO and how can I fix this problem.

 

RE: SW tries to install DAO

DAO probably refers to Data Access Object, but why it's doing that I don't know.

What is the exact message you get?

Have you tried allowing it to install the DAO?

Have you tried a repair or clean re-install?

RE: SW tries to install DAO

1. Do a repair install.

2. If 1. doesn't fix it, use Rx to capture the problem and send it in to SW.

RE: SW tries to install DAO

Some other suggestions if a repair install doesn't work:

Hole Wizard requires Toolbox, so make sure you have that selected under "Add-Ins."  The last time I used DAO was for system-generated e-mails, so look under options and see if you're sending performance e-mails.

RE: SW tries to install DAO

DAO is a Windows component.  What version of Windows are you running?  Perhaps if you get your OS up to the latest and greatest SP, the problem will go away.

I could be the world's greatest underachiever, if I could just learn to apply myself.

It is somehow related to Toolbox. The error message I am getting is: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

A repair install did not fix the problem.

RE: SW tries to install DAO

Did you then Rx the problem and send it in to SW?
