> Problem Background
> We develop Access applications for our users.  We develop these
> appliations as.ADP files and convert them to .ADE files before
> deploying the application to our users. We currently develop in a
> different MS Office environment than our users.  Recently we
> encountered some trouble with the DLL files.  While in test, we
> discovered that a user wasn't able to run our application without
> error.  The reason for this was that my pc had added an unnecessary
> dll file to the application that our tester's pc didn't have.  We
> removed the reference and the application ran perfectly for her.  We
> continued to develop on that file, testing back and forth between
> users without problem.  When we went to launch the application, we
> encountered the same problem-the dll reference had been automatically
> added on my pc again.
> 
> My question is how and when are dll references automatically added?
> Is there a way for me to disable this function without manually
> checking the references each time? 
> 
> Details
> Developers:  MS Office XP Developers, Microsoft Access 2002, we have
> MS Front Page on our machines, users do not.
> Users:  MS Standard Office XP, Microsoft Access 2002
> 
> dll reference automatically being added:  "Microsoft Office XP Web
> Components"
> (for an added twist, once I uncheck this reference, it disappears from
> the reference list box and I can't even recheck it).
