[AccessD] Combo Box Query Fails

Problem solved.  I sent him a one-form mdb with the same references checked
as the mde.  And in the CBF I used the Left and CHR functions.  Sure enough
it failed, but this time I was able to see the problem.  It was missing the
Outlook library.  Although he bought O2K3 Pro and installed it he didn't
tell me he had not installed Outlook.  Adding Outlook solved the problem.  

But I think I have to figure out how to do late binding so that this doesn't
happen again.

Make sure whatever shortcut they're using points to the correct runtime
executable, which IIRC is NOT Access.exe.  You can get problems unless you
point to the Sagekey exe.

Can't check the refs because it's an mde.  But there should be no ref
problem with the Wise/Sagekey install.  At least I've never had one before
with any mde.

Rocky,

My suspicion when "common" items such as these fail is that there is a
missing reference which has nothing to do with these particular  functions
but which just case Access to wobble.

Can he check the Refs to see if there  is a Missing one?

Dear List:

New user of my E-Z-MRP system does not have A2K3 so I sent him the runtime
(Wise/Sagekey).  The program file itself is an mde.

Runs fine on his box.  All other boxes on his network fail when he tries
this combo box that has a query as its row source.  The query uses Left,
Instr, and Chr(10) and that is failing.  

I discovered one difference between his box and the other - he's got Office
2003 Standard (no Access); the box we were testing it where it failed has
Office 97 - Word, Excel, PowerPoint.  

Could that be creating the problem?
