Symptoms

SWCS starts but you are unable to add or edit customers, vendors, shipping methods, referral

methods, etc. When you attempt to add a new shipping method the application does not do

anything. If you attempt again to add a shipping method you receive the following error message:

Run-time error 438 - Object doesn't support this property or method


Other symptoms include:

  • Clicking File, Company Information opens the Company Information screen but no data appears
  • The application won't close


Cause

This can be caused when a shared component that the Solatech Window Covering Software uses is

not registered correctly.


This can happen if other software, including non-Solatech software, installs an older version of this

component or this component is unregistered when software in uninstalled.


Resolution

To fix this problem the component must be manually registered.
