Need to decompile to resolve references problem to mda

[cubes]

Hi,

I have an Access 97 application with a reference to an mda library with
a single module. I distribute these as a runtime application.
Recently I have found that I get a references problem with the mda
(which is resolved if I put the mda's module into the main application
mdb). (I want to keep the mda as it is referred to by another mdb
too.)

I can fix the references problem if I decompile the mdb and recompile
before distributing, but I clearly don't want to have to do this every
time I distribute a new release of the application. This suggests that
it is not an installation script problem or of finding the mda on the
target users' PCs.

This never used to happen, but started when I moved to a new XP
development PC late last year. I reverted to my old W'98 PC, but it
has started happening there too now.

Any bright ideas?

I did find the embedded posting below, but am not sure that this is
relevant?

Thanks

Is there anyone that can tell me if in Access 97 is possible to write

public class modules so that they are visible in other access
databases?
And if so, in any way

You may reference any external MDB, MDE or MDA you wish thru the
references section found in the tools menu while in module edit mode.
This
will allow the contents of the external database functions to be
available
thru the object browser and you may call any function you wish. The
only
downside currently relates to the reference itself which is compiled in
the database. In order to alter the reference you are forced to
decompile
to make the edit. Class modules are essentially used to encapsulate
groups
of functions and reference them thru an object. Associating the
functions
themselves as methods of the declared object..
