Hi there,

I am still working with Access97/VBA (will change to 2003 soon).
I built mde systems that use automation with excel and others. When I compile the mde it uses my dll versions and if someone else has a later version (Excel for example) errors occur. I've got no idea how to solve this one...

Any help would greatly be appreciated and a big thanks already now...

Have a nice day...
Michael
 
Wouldn't late binding your office objects using CreateObject work as well?
Our product automates word and we have no issues with differing versions
because we use late binding.

I have always thought of late binding as a temporary patch, but not as a
desired solution because of the performance and instability associated with
it.
