VB6 app developed on Win XP with DAO 3.6. Compiles and runs in XP with the db updating correctly. When app.exe file is copied to and run in Windows server 2012, the app runs and sees the incoming data but will not write to the mdb database. Any ideas?? Thanks.

Jump to PostWe ended support 2 years ago on such an app. Even so the issue I see in your post is you "copied" the app.exe. That never worked. Use the app's setup.exe installer to get all the components to install. This may or may not fix it but copying the app.exe …
