[AccessD] Macworld.olb

[Stuart McLachlan]

I wasted a lot of time googling for anything relevant with  "MacWorld"
 :(

You have a referece to "Microsoft Word xx.x Object Library"
where xx.x is something like 14.0, 15.0,16.0.... depending on what version of MS Office is 
installed on your development machine.

If he is getting a compile error, he either has a different (earlier?) version of Office installed or 
he doesn't have MS Word installed at all.
