Error Number 6 Overflow

still working on solutions to this error, when running a company specific software program. the program runs fine (it's a multiple choice exam), but errors as it tries to collate the results (only when the result is a pass).

one possible reason is "The error is caused by Access trying to store a variable in a datatype that is too small for the variable", linked to use of "non-unicode software language".

windows can be set to render all non-Unicode programs in a particular encoding via Regional and Language Options. can this be replicated in WINE? and if so, how?

thanks as usual for your time

edit: googling forum shows a reply from vitamin: Make sure that LANG env var is correctly set to your language and codepage. where is this setting?

(asus p701 4g eee pc running xandros, wine 1.0 winetricks (jet40, vb5run,))

ok searching as i go.....
the current desktop shortcut is

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\xxxx\Test.exe"

does

Code: Select all

env LANG="en_EN.UTF-8" WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\xxxx\Test.exe"

look about right? to specify english only?

does this overide all variables as in clicky
eg LC_NUMERIC=xxxx

Yes.

Yes. You could change them (in registry) but they will be reset back on the next start.

well it was a good try
but still produces

Code: Select all

Error Number 6 Overflow
Occured in Sub 'get_results_from_database'
in Module 'frmResults' in project DAO.Field

tried en_US too, as the relevant .exe files show language as English (United States)

ran dependency.exe program in windows & then wine
listed in windows, but missing in wine were:

vba6.dll, odbc32.dll, activreg.ocx, msflxgrd.ocx

can the ocx files be copied/downloaded and added to system32 in wine?
any other ideas where to go from here please?

also got access to the programs .mdb file
cannot initially see the 'frmresults' module
any ideas where to look for it?

other points: there doesn't actually seem to be a vba6.dll on the windows machine. there is a vba6 folder in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6, which contains various .dll files

will copying this folder to common files in wine be any use? or more likely to break stuff? the other missing .dll files can just be copied into system 32 and registered if i understand correctly?
