[AccessD] A2K MDE Runtime Reference problem - URGENT

Jim:

I've had extra references creep into my apps and I don't know where they
came from.  So now, from time to time, if I can remember, I check the
references at random to see what's there.

cnfgprt.ocx).  We're going to remove it then recompile the app and see if it
runs.  I think that ocx is some NT service pack file but why it's referenced
here is a mystery.
