Technical Information

Multi National Language feature of DynaRod:

DynaRod is developed to support multi-national language. So far, Japanese and English are supported.
All the titles, error messages can be switched by pressing one button. This is implemented to introduce DynaRod not only to Japanese users but to all the people in the world. For more detail, look into DynaRod Help in the package.

Match of Windows, Access, and Excel:

• Access and Excel: These two are recommended to use in the same version number. It is hard to support the combined use of Access 2000 and Excel97. It is ideal to use Ms Office which includes these two. For simplification, we will call Access and Excel as Office.
• Windows and Office: Under Windows 2000, though Office 2000 works, Office 2002 and Office 2003 may not. Might work but there may be various matters to solve.
• On Windows XP, Office 2000, Office 2002 and Office 2003 can work.

DB format of Ms Access:

• Ms Access is suporting three db format now. 97DB format, 2000 DB format and 2002-2003 DB format
• The correspondence between DB format and Ms Access version are as follows;

• DynaRod v2.0 is developed by 2000 DB format. It should work under Ms Access 2000 and higher version of Access.

Changing System Local

When running DynaRod under non-Japanese based Windows, users may need to change the system locale into "Japanese". To set the system locale, open [control panel] and click [Regional and Language option] to show the control box below. Then change the language to "Japanese". You may need to reboot the PC after this. After using DynaRod, you may need to reset this to your own language again.

There is a report from one user in north Europe that he can run DynaRod without setting system locale to "Japanese" after setting the system locale to "Japanese" once or twice. It seems that some language setting might be installed and remain within the PC by the initial setting of the system locale into "Japanese".

The match of dll version between the developer and the user:

• There are a group of programs, called dll (Dynamic link library) which are referenced at execution time directly.

• These programs have been released by Microsoft from time to time. You must know of this by the name of "windows security update".

• If all these update have not been reflected correctly, your pc might lack some update or stay in old version. There are some of dll's which must be installed by the initiation of the users, not by auto update.

• The version of these dll between the developer's pc and the user's pc, if different to each other, some unexpected error will be resulted with error message.

• The most important dll's are MSJET40.dll and MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Component).

• There is a very useful free software to check the versions of these dll's, downloat it and confirm your dll versions.

• The dll versions of the developer's PC are shown below;

• Often we see such error messages like below when there are unmatched version of dll:

Error 5 Invalid procedure call.
Error in evaluating on click event. Error occurred while Access is comunicating with ActiveX or OLE server.
