Microsoft Office 8.0 Object Library

I have Office97Pro, Office2000Premi um and OfficeXP Pro all installed. I'm
creating an Access97 application for another person and need to set a
reference to Microsoft Office 8.0 Object Library. When I look at my
references, all I have is Microsoft Office 10.0 Object Library. Why don't
have Microsoft Office 8.0 Object Library when I have Office97Pro installed?
What can I do to get a reference to Microsoft Office 8.0 Object Library?

Thanks!

Same as for any other late binding:

Dim cbr As Object
Dim Ctl As Object

during development. Why not use late binding during development?
Early binding lets you use the Type Library during development.
This lets you use AutoComplete, compilation checks, the Office
help files, etc. Once you have it working on your PC, then you
can remove the reference, and go through and remove all the type
declarations and named constants, and use late binding for the
object creation.

David,

Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Two questions ---
1. Why shouldn't I have a reference to the Office object library except during development. Why not use late binding during development?
2. I need the Microsoft Office 8.0 Object Library to be able to work with the commandbars collection. I have included a sample of my code. How
do I apply late binding?

Dim cbr As CommandBar
Dim Ctl As CommandBarCombo Box
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set cbr = CommandBars("Co urseCalendarMen u")
Set Ctl = cbr.Controls("M onth")
Ctl.ListIndex = Month(Date)

Thanks!

Rolf

Thanks, Doug!

What about CreateObject; is that applicable?

If you can create your objects by referring to some other object or
collection, you don't need the CreateObject. That's only required if you're
creating a brand new object.

To be honest, though, I'm not sure whether your reference to the CommandBars
collection is going to work if you don't have the reference set. You'll have
to try it and see.

At least in A97, this would sometimes work even without an explicit
reference to the Office library. Access is using the same library itself,
and it "shortcuts" some (not all) of the library's objects and methods so
that they can be used in your application code.

To be honest, I'd much rather set the reference and be done with it. The
library is present on every machine that has Access installed - unlike some
other libraries, I've yet to see this one cause any problems with broken
refs.
