of a sudden 20 megs doesn't sound so bad. And given that you can barely
buy a system with less than 20GB, 20 mb also doesn't sound so
bad.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<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@databaseadvisors.com<BR><B>Subject:</B> [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
