I wrote a payroll program and was trying to compile it same in VB6, but suddenly an error came i.e Runtime error 91:object variable or with block variable not set. The program runs under the scheduler on Windows XP, and in debug in VB ide. I don't know wants the problem in program and where it is wrong, please somebody help me out.

I would say that in visual basic, IDE build an .exe file. So take a dependency walker and see which dependencies are required for your .exe file. After knowing that, make those dependencies on your target machine. Hope so this method would work for you or else you need to use the setup factory tools which i don't how to use it. So, better try with first option gave to you.

According to me, the error says that either the recordset is not correctly initialized or one of the textboxes references do not exist by the name specified/written. I am sure it would be recordset object only. E.g: how we uses the ADO code instead of the control using the data form wizard inside visual basic and chooses the ADO code. This will make the code to generate the connection and the recordset object, connect to the database and initialize the recordset. Hope the error will get solve.

Mostly the Runtime error - 91 comes because people often the object variable/block variable is not set sound or may be when an object is not instantiated or is null. Due to this, the object of the connection is going out of scope or is null. So, you must always add a null check before executing the query and program to confirm. If it will be null, then re instantiate it. Hope you will be able to fix the problem.

I am also facing the same error i.e Error 91. Don't why this error comes. The Error come like this:-
Runtime Error 91: Object variable or width block variable not set.
But in my case, this error is coming when i am opening WORD 2003 and also while opening the OUTLOOK 2003 too. Is it my Microsoft Office 2003 is been corrupted or something else is the problem. Should i reinstall the Microsoft Office 2003 or install new version of Office. Please help me to solve this problem, lots of my work is pending due to this.

Mostly, I am just a user. Presently, I receive that error 91 message at (what appears to be) random, while NOT using Excel. When it appears, DEBUG is not an option. Would someone be willing to de-mystify the explanations & fixes offered? From time-to-time I do create simple Excel macros & do edit them. Thanks! Sam
