Runtime Error 31027 in Window XP Home

JamesW · Joined: 04 Oct 2007 Posts: 5

I have written a program that plays some .wav files when a command button is
pressed. It has been successfully installed on a Windows ME, 2 Windows XP
Pro, and 1 Windows XP Home pc's. However I installed it on another Windows
XP Home pc and got the Runtime Error 31027. The Class of the OLE was set as
SoundRec initially so I changed it to mplayer, and then installed again, to
see if this made any difference, which it didn't. The .wav files run fine if
I play then straight from the directory that they are located in. Any
help/advice in resolving this issue would be appreciated.

The error message message came up as soon as you clicked on one of the
command buttons when the program was running. It just said Runtime Error
31027. This error code apparently means "unable to activate object".

That was my point really. You can't make any assumptions
about an error number. Any error number can be used by any
component and so without the error message you can only
guess. If you guess wrong then you spend a lot of time
looking in the wrong places.

Your program really needs to log the error message (the
source is useful too)

That aside, can you post the relevant code?

This is the code I use to run the .wav files:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
OLESoundGreat.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command10_Click()
OLESoundBoing.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command11_Click()
OLESoundPugwash.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command12_Click()
OLESoundLove.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command13_Click()
OLESoundMessage.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command14_Click()
OLESoundMessageSample.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command15_Click()
OLESoundPirateShort.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command16_Click()
OLESoundSeaside.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command17_Click()
OLESoundSeasideshort.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
OLESoundMeasure.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command3_Click()
OLESoundRace.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command4_Click()
OLESoundHey.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command5_Click()
OLESoundLand.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command6_Click()
OLESoundLand_back.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command7_Click()
OLESoundTime.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command8_Click()
OLESoundAce.DoVerb
End Sub

Private Sub Command9_Click()
OLESoundPirate.DoVerb
End Sub

The exact error message that appears on the screen is:

Run-time error '31027':
System Error &H800401E6 (-2147221018)

The OLE's are linked to the .wav files that are stored in a directory on the
root of 'C'.
