I've got this problem too - on windows xp sp2 with ie7. Did some
digging, but I can't dig too deep because I don't have a version of
visual studio that'll build tinycad.

In LibraryDb.cpp there's a try/catch in a couple of places accessing
the libraries - it appears to be the catch that's throwing up the
message box that we're seeing. However, the exception message is
fetched into the CString msg, but msg's buffer is released before the
message box is shown, the result being that we don't get to see what
the exception message is. (It seems to me that msg.ReleaseBuffer()
should be after the call to AfxMessagebox, not before. ref lines 111,
373, 533)

It appears that something in DAO is breaking, but I don't know what.
My PC has MDAC 2.8 SP1, if that helps.

I'm stuck again due to lack of a compiler.

Cheers
Jon
