<DIV><SPAN class=331572512-18032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>BTW, this is one of the things that .NET is supposed to bring
to the table, no more overwriting system DLLs. Since the runtime
for .net is only about 20 megs, you can literally "xcopy" an entire
copy of your system, complete with the runtime that you use, into a
specific directory and tat is what is used for your app. You
don't overwrite other peoples stuff, they don't overwrite
yours.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

accessd@databaseadvisors.com<BR><B>Subject:</B> [AccessD] Slightly
OT: Installation protocol<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I'd like to know from
you who install your VB apps on other people's machines whether it's
normal practice to overwrite system dll's that are older than the
one you're sending out, without asking or telling? A user here
installed a demo which installed a version of oleaut32.dll. Their
version was newer but it stll messed up my Access app, specifically
where it talked to Outlook. Do I have a grouse?<BR><BR>--<BR>Andy
