[AccessD] Referencing

Joe,

There was a recent thread on this but in a nutshell, many developers use the reference to get the IntelliSense during development then remove the reference and use CreateObject when finished.  In fact someone posted some neat code using compiler directives so you can create objects either way without changing your code.  I think you might use CreateObject when you want the ability to trap an error if the library is not installed on a user's PC.

HTH,

Hi All,

All the examples I have seen that use the FileSystemObject always uses code
similar to: Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Is there and advantage in doing this as compared to making reference to
Microsoft Scripting Runtime and using code like: Dim fso as
Scripting.FileSystemObject

I found the later to be easier to use because of such features as auto
complete and the listing of methods and parameters.

Thanks,
Joe Rojas
