[AccessD] A97 - References

Do you mean 'olb' file instead of dll? Are you sharing this application on the
network? I would guess that the file in question has a different name per
version of word (mine is msword9.olb). You could set this reference based on
which file you find on the computer. This wont work if you are sharing the
application on the network.

Subject: [AccessD] A97 - References


I have several users of the same database on a network - all works
fairly well - except, now some folks have gotten new computers and new
versions of Access (AXP).  They also have A97 on their computer, because
I don't want to switch until everyone has AXP.

There is a button on a form that creates a Word document.  Since
everyone does not have Word97 (many have WXP), I have copied the Word
8.0 dll (set a reference) to a shared location so that this works on
everyone's computer.  However, somehow (I don't know how) the reference
is getting changed to the Word 10 dll, which screws things up.  All I
have to do is change the reference back and all is well.

Is there a way to ensure that the reference cannot be changed?

Any ideas?  Let me know if this does not make sense.
