Dave Here is the stuff Joe wrote earlier in the year. WIn7 and Win8 are the same in this regard so you can follow along at home.
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!
