Hi,

I need to activate certain VB reference libraries within a VB6 project using
code (e.g. Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library).

This will ensure all users applications have reference to the correct
Reference library!!!

Can anyone help?

Cheers,
Steve.

You'd be better off asking in a newsgroup related to VB than one related to
Access, then.

Do you know for a fact that all your users will have Office 2003 installed?

I think what he's getting at is that he wants to activate the references
based on whatever the current version of Office is, which as far as I know,
you can't do.

The only solution in this case would be to use late binding. (i.e., Dim
myVar as Object)

On rereading the post, you're probably correct about the question. If so,
you're definitely right that late binding would be the only solution.
