size=2>BTW, this is one of the things that .NET is supposed to
bring to the table, no more overwriting system DLLs. Since
the runtime for .net is only about 20 megs, you can literally
"xcopy" an entire copy of your system, complete with the runtime
that you use, into a specific directory and tat is what is used
for your app. You don't overwrite other peoples stuff, they
don't overwrite yours.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[AccessD] Slightly OT: Installation
protocol<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I'd like to know from you who
install your VB apps on other people's machines whether it's
normal practice to overwrite system dll's that are older than
the one you're sending out, without asking or telling? A user
here installed a demo which installed a version of oleaut32.dll.
Their version was newer but it stll messed up my Access app,
specifically where it talked to Outlook. Do I have a
grouse?<BR><BR>--<BR>Andy
