OK, here's the situation as it stands. Using a query, as Gustav suggested, seems to give me an accurate way to test for a broken reference. I call that test from my FixReference routine and if it's true, I repair the library reference by removing it add adding it back. RefLibPaths gives me the correct path for adding it back, so that part is easy. This works in runtime or full installation and only performs the fix if the reference is actually broken. The compile issue is a bit trickier and I found a kludge, but I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them. The undocumented SysCmd(504, 16483) doesn't error but it doesn't seem to compile either. I ran into a post on the net that suggested it might not work with modules open (didn't say how you ran code otherwise, but I assume the reference was to the 97 VBE) so I started thinking "macro". If found that if I modify my autoexec macro, it will run the compile for me. So an autoexec that looks like this compiles the app after fixing the reference: Condition Action Command IIf(FixReference()=True,True,False) ...
