[AccessD] Create reference only when needed

Kath,
Speed shouldn't be a big deal. I use late binding with Word and it doesn't
seem to take any longer than earlier binding plus it works with all versions
of word. I say seems because to be clock ticks are not as important as user
impression. Give them the hourglass at the start of the routine and turn if
on and off a few times. Builds hope :o)

Here's an article from our newsletter that explains it quite well:

ionlpt1.htm

It really should be fairly easy after you browse that.

HTH

John - I've never used it. BUT it may be the solution to this case as only
some of my users *have* Frontpage installed at all.

I'm a bit scared of the speed issues, but how do In convert code below to
use late binding instaed?

Kath

Private Sub CmdOpenFP_Click()

Dim oFPweb As FrontPage.Web
Dim oFP As FrontPage.Application
Dim FrontPageRunning As Boolean

'Determine whether FrontPage is already open or not FrontPageRunning =
IsFrontPageRunning()

If Not FrontPageRunning Then
    Set oFP = CreateObject("Frontpage.Application")
Else
    Set oFP = GetObject(, "Frontpage.Application") End If

'add code here later to make a copy of my file

'open file in front page------------------------------------------------
oFP.Webs.Open ("E:/Sds/Clients/CPP/Webletters/template.html")
 ' Show FrontPage
 oFPweb.Activate
 'Set oFP = Nothing

End Sub

  Have you considered late binding?

  Can someone tell mew how to set a reference to a program (in this case
  Frontpage) only if the user has the software installed.

  I have an app that crashed because of missing references, so I want to
  remove them and set them using code when / if needed.

  TIA
  Kath
