Title:

When I try to use the database function, the error message "Code=800401f9 Msg: Error in the DLL Source: ADODB. Connection Description:" appears. What should I do?

 

Description:

This issue is caused when two DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files not registering with the Windows operating system during the installation. These files can be registered manually with reinstalling the software.

    regsvr32 oledb32r.dll  

  5. Click [OK] when you receive the message indicating that the operation succeeded.
