Hi

I have my app in access 2000 and the office version I have is 10.0 (xp).
When I send my app to clients (who have office 9.0/2000) as mde, how does my
application work around the reference problems due to version number
differences?

Thanks

Hi John,

Your app. is currently in Access 2000 format running on Access 2002 on your PC as a
regular .MDB, right? In order to convert the app. to a .MDE file, I believe you will find
that you need to do one of two things:

1.) Convert the database to the 2002 format and then make the .MDE file. Unfortunately,
this will lock out your clients who are still working with Access 2000.

2.) Open your database on a PC that has Access 2000 installed. Then create the .MDE
file.

Incidentally, you must not have any compile errors in your code, or else the process of
attempting to create the .MDE file will fail.

Access seems to be able to reference the correct version of the Microsoft Access Object
Library (version 9.0 for 2000 and version 10.0 for 2002) on-the-fly, but Access 2002
cannot create an Access 2000 compatible .MDE file.

Hi Tom

Thanks for that.

My app is in access 2000. I have both office 2000 & office xp installed. My
app uses word 10 & office 10 references (I can't seem to find version 9.0
references in the list). My client only has office 2000 and so when I send
him the mde (with word 10 & office 10 references) it gives error 'functions
is not available....'. In my case it is the ltrim & rtrim functions.

I need to find a way that my mde app somehow references word 9 & office 9
when it is with the client.

Thanks

Try using Late Binding.

The problem I am getting is on office 10 reference. How can I do late
binding with office 9.0 reference? I am using toolbars & ltrim/rtrim
functions in my app.

LTrim/RTrim comes from VBA, not the Office reference.

In theory, you would use

dim objOffice As Object

Set objOffice = GetObject("Offi ce.CommandBar")

to instantiate a late bound reference to the toolbars. That would pick up
whatever version of Office was present.

The motivation for references seems clear: stop people from using nasty pointers when all they really want is a reference to an object. But C++ references are so inadequate that I'm still using pointers for my references to objects. There are 3 reasons why I find them inadequate: 1 - Can't be null. 2 - Can't be reseated. Now I'm sure there are good reasons for these first 2, but it's #3 that I

References is a relatively basic feature of C++ language. It might be a good thing to think of references as aliases to the variables. However it's good to think of references this way when you deal with references which are local variables. But references can also be function arguments (in fact they are more useful this way) in which case it has to have the in-memory representation.
