Hi Folks I recently got back the message below form a company I suggested supporting WINE with their software. Is there any answer - or is it, as they suggest, a lost cause? The error I get from WINE is: RTG Bills (title) ADO error 1AD ActiveX component can't create object [OK](button) Is there anyway to have ActiveX & ADO work with WINE? Regards, Morgan. > No, RTG Bills won't run under Wine. The error message explains why: > >> ActiveX component can't create object > > ActiveX components don't work. > > RTG Bills does things that RTG Timer does not.
