Hi Guy

I do almost alll my code work at home on an achaic win 98 machine which has XP developer loaded

I sometime run tests at work where I have access to a stunning win XP machine. I need to know where writng cod
on the Xp machine, for which we acquired access 2002/xp would render the code unreadable to my home machin

Office device : Win XP, access 2002/xp, office XP SB

Home device : Win 98, Office XP develope

There's no compilation involved: VBA is interpretted each time it runs.

One problem you may run into is with References. Since certain files will be
different between the two operating systems, references may break moving
between the machines, but that can be fixed easily.

See http://members.rogers.com/douglas.j.steele/AccessReferenceErrors.html
for a discussion of this issue.

Well, it is tokenized, which is conceptually similar to compilation :-)

Ie. it does not run directly off the source code (as I'm sure you know
already).
