I have a program built in vb6. The code has been working fine in all environments. However when i am working with it in the windows 8 environment i get this runtime error. It happens when we run the vbreports contained inside a form. Anything with the .dsr extension gives this run time error 713. I have checked dlls and they seem to be installed on the OS. It's only windows 8 x64 that has this problem. Haven't tried x86.

Managed to fix it by re-registering dlls.

<windows system>\Msdbrptr.dll
<program files>\Common Files\Designers\Msderun.dll
<windows system>\Msstdfmt.dll

Eg:

Open command prompt and choose Run as Administrator

%systemroot%\SysWoW64\regsvr32 "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Msdbrptr.dll"
%systemroot%\SysWoW64\regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\designer\Msderun.dll"
%systemroot%\SysWoW64\regsvr32 "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Msstdfmt.dll"
