Should I move all the .dll files? What about the .ocx files?
Thanks!

I recall hearing about a similar error when someone chooses FILE --> OPTIONS and that error was the result of the wrong MDB file. Make very sure you download and unzip the "Update from 4.x " file (link is
http://www.jcato.net/downloads/history/histv500.zip) before you choose the "Update to 5.3 " link. That "Update to 5.3 " link assumes you have already DLed and unzipped the "Update from 4.x " file first. Safety Note: You likely are but make absolutely sure you are unzipping these files into whatever folder you installed OOTP History into
.
If that is not the answer then we need to look more closely at the initial install. I don't recall DLL or OCX files in the OOTP History program folder, but I am at work so I can't confirm this. Others that have the program installed on their PC can hopefully confirm this but what this sounds like is that instead of running the setup.exe program, you just unzipped the OOTPHIST.CAB file into a directory named History, and that is not how this is supposed to be installed. From jcato.net:
"Unzip and run setup.exe" <- that unzip means unzip just the downloaded ZIP file into a temp local directory, then run the 'setup.exe' installation file. The setup.exe file will move the contents of the OOTPHIST.CAB file (including the DLL and OCX files) into all the correct directories - it will also install MDAC and regester the DLL's and classes it installs.
One or both of those suggestions should probably get you going on the correct path, good luck.
