[AccessD] Access Check References

Gustav

...I understand  the references from the standpoint of using them from 
Tools/References toolbar as I've normally used them before ...this is the 
first time I've used vba code to check them.

...as I noted in my reply to Stu, its the major and minor numbers that are 
confusing to me ...ie, Access 9.0 "should" be Access 11.0 ...or maybe not.

...any insight/links/suggestions would be appreciated ...I'm using the 
current slowdown to rebuild my template app from scratch, trying to correct 
a lot of accumulated garbage from the past ten years with some highly 
distilled "best practices" ...anything that would verify the references at 
startup would appear to fit that mold ...tks.
