Ideagen Smartforms users configuring versions older than 10.1.

Understanding of Windows server is required.

When configuring a new customer with Ideagen Smartforms Server and clicking “Test Datasource, the following error appears:

“Datasource not found.: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {10020200-E260-11CF-AE68-00AA004A34D5} failed due to the following error: 80040154.”

Problem

The library file “sqldmo.dll” was not registered during Ideagen Smartforms Server Installation. The file “sqldmo.dll” provides a library for interacting with SQL Server. If Ideagen Smartforms Server was installed on a machine with SQL Server installed, the Ideagen Smartforms Server installation should install and register “sqldmo.dll”.

Solution

Use regsvr32 to register “sqldmo.dll”, by default located in “c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MFS\bin\”.
