I have had this same issue because we have workstations with Office97 and workstations with Office XP running the same A97 database. I didn't think you could check two references for Word. My database runs across a network (FE and BE) and has a reference to Word 8.0 but every so often, it picks up Word 10.0 - same problem. I can bring up the database at my workstation and reset the reference to Word 8.0 and all is well. For those users who run Office XP, I copied the word 8 .olb to a shared directory and made certain that's where the database gets the reference. It all works fine, except when, it changes to 10.0. I don't know if it happens when someone with Word XP only on their workstation has the db generate a Word document?? Anyway, we will all be going to XP in the next few months, so it will become a moot point - that's why I haven't given it a lot of effort. Would be interested in the solution, however, if an easy one comes up. >>> accessd at shaw.ca 04/28/03 10:01PM >>> Hi Rocky: I guess I am a little late in this conversation but I just have this thought. If you are trying to resolve the issue of whether Word 10.0 or 9.0 object library is going to take precedence. I would set up my Access DB with both references ticked. If one failed, it is easy to check the reference status within code then just use the library that didn't fail. My two cents worth.

What I did was uncheck the 10.0 library, browse for the 9.0 library, check it, and it seems to be sticking for the moment. If it comes unstuck again I guess I could just delete Word 10.

I'm running O2K here. Somehow in my references Word 10.0 Object Library has replaced the Word 9.0 Object Library. Again. And I need the 9.0 back because that's what my clients have. Tried using my Office 2000 Professional to repair but no soap. Someone gave me the answer before - was pretty simple IIRC. I'll save the answer this time. Promise.
