Hi
I've written an app. in VB5 sp3 using ODBC Direct which I have
released to all the machines on our network without any problem, the
PCs are a combination of Win ME and 98. Now I try to release the code
to a PC running XP and I get the error 3265: item not found in this
collection but afaik nothing is different. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

If anyone's interested the reason this happened I've just discovered is that I was running a routine early on in the code to discover the logon name of the user by seeing what was recorded at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon\username and of course in XP this info. is recorded elsewhere.
