ALL:
First -- some of us were very much disappointed with what we had to do
with Windows 7 64 bit to get things to work properly !!! We really thought
Windows 7 was a PITA -- well -- welcome to Windows 8 !!!!
I will NOW - try to detail the steps that I TOOK to be able to get dao350.dll
REGISTERED on my Windows 8 64bit LapTop computer ..
NOTE!! -- there MIGHT be other ways to do this - but, this method was the
one I used -- and it worked all ok:
NOTE #2 !! -- this GUIDE assumes that you HAVE already SAVED the dao350.dll
file to your C:\Program Files (X86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO
directory and that you have made sure that the dao350.dll file is NOT BLOCKED.
(1) Bootup your Windows 8 64 bit computer
(2) Log onto your computer
(3) The Start window should now be seen
(4) Right-Click the Mouse -- you should now see (BOTTOM of the display)
the words "All apps" - left click on those words -- Now, the "Apps" window
should
be viewable.
(5) Scroll to the RIGHT in that window - until you SEE the "Command Prompt"
words and it's ICON.
(6) Move your mouse cursor over the ICON/Words "Command Prompt" - then
Right-click on that ICON - down at the Bottom of the window you will now see
various OPTIONS -- Left-Click on the words/ICON for "Run as administrator"
(7) The Command Prompt window should NOW be available -- AND -- the window
WILL SHOW "Administrator: Command Prompt" -- indicating that the command prompt
NOW has the Administrator privileges.
The command prompt should be showing that you are in the
C:\Windows\system32
directory
(8) VERY CAREFULLY - Manually type-in the following (EXACTLY AS IS) :
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (X86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\dao350.dll"
Once you press the ENTER KEY - you should see the small pop-up window
that says that the DLL file was in fact REGISTERED.
NOTE!! If your computer system is using a FOREIGN language - your line of info
MIGHT be different than the above -- because of your LANGUAGE used!! Adjust
accordingly.
This method worked 100% all ok for me -- hopefully it will work for you all too.
Gud Luck!

Neal, why have you not fixed this in the installer? It does not make
sense to have to go through these hoops to install the software on these
new operating systems!
