[AccessD] Missing references

Interesting thread.. I have not seen it mentioned that if you early bind to
an early version, Access will "re-reference" to any later installed version.


 This of course this does not work if the user has an earlier version or no
version at all installed ;-)

Quite right, and insofar as you resolve the late-bind issue asap, then such
binding shall not impede the subsequent performance of your app. Having
resolved it once, the app will behave as if it were early-bound thereafter.

Hi Jim:

The main reason for using late-binding is that an application developer does
not know what version of Word or Excel is on the clients' computer until the
application is run. By checking the local references a program can then
adapt to its' current surroundings; but this requires a late-binding design.

Just a comment
