[AccessD] Broken Reference

Rocky

...Neal Kling has a references sample mdb that I use in modified form ...you 
can run it at your app open and check for broken references since it uses no 
references itself ...it lets you fix or remove them ...no reason you 
couldn't call the function using the known reference and do whatever you 
needed to with it.

> Dear List:

> inputting manually into Bartender.  So the client asked me to add a
> function to the app to run Bartender from the production system and that

> To do this I downloaded and installed the trial version of Bartender and

> Bartender from the client's app (stuff like Public BtApp As
> BarTender.Application and Public BtFormat As BarTender.Format and Set
> BtApp = CreateObject("BarTender.Application")).
>
> Problem is that the app won't run on any machine which doesn't have
> Bartender loaded - it gets a broken reference error when the app opens.
>
> So I'm wondering how to handle this.  Perhaps I unset the reference in
