Let me say one thing here at the end, now that things have been resolved: As the user of the app, you shouldn't have to mess around with this. The developer should have taken better care with the references. I would say that the list of references indicates a developer who is barely competent, as several of the references are problematic for a number of reasons. Competent Access developers endeavor to keep references to a minimum precisely because there are so many circumstances that can break them. Any app with more than the three base references (Access, VBA, DAO) is an app that I'm suspicious of, as it indicates a developer who isn't planning ahead, or is just not at a level of competence that is appropriate for someone being paid as an Access developer. Harsh, but it's the way I see it. -- David W. Fenton http://www.dfenton.com/ usenet at dfenton dot com http://www.dfenton.com/DFA/

Excellent. OWC10 isn't required. But then what about the other references also possibly not required? VBIDE, stdole, MSComDlg and MSXML2. Remove those one at a time and compile. If the compile fails then put the reference back and try the next one. Also the code I supplied would've failed when it got to the OWC reference. There may very well be a useless reference after that. So once you're done cleaning up these references run the code again and lets see what else needs to be worked on. >Let me add, that this is a really old project that has been updated and >revised since 1999 originaly with access 97 or 98 then upgraded to 2000 and >then we've been using XP (2002) ever since. > >Our core developer last used ver 2003 if I remember and it's likely he put >this reference, not the guys who made these most recent changes. Actually the OWC reference likely got in there when doing a conversion from A97 to a newer version of Access and has been left in there untouched.
