<DIV><SPAN class=331572512-18032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
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
