If you have a reference to an office app like that, it has to be there or you'll get the failure you see. You could write checks into your code to disable the Excel features if it isn't found but that's undoubtedly your issue.

He got another error that is common with a missing reference...and I think I just figured it out - there's a reference to Excel 11 in the app - the runtime isn't going to install Excel on a system where there's no Excel, is it? And if it's Excel 97 that reference may not resolve. Seem likely?

You can get problems unless you point to the Sagekey exe.

But there should be no ref problem with the Wise/Sagekey install. At least I've never had one before with any mde.

Can he check the Refs to see if there is a Missing one?

The program file itself is an mde. Runs fine on his box. All other boxes on his network fail when he tries this combo box that has a query as its row source. The query uses Left, Instr, and Chr(10) and that is failing. I discovered one difference between his box and the other - he's got Office 2003 Standard (no Access); the box we were testing it where it failed has Office 97 - Word, Excel, PowerPoint. Could that be creating the problem?
