MS Access Forum / Forms Programming / January 2005References thru VBA
Hi, I have a frontend/backend database. Sometimes when I install the program on a new machine I find out that there are reference problems. Is there a way to trap this error in code? Then perhaps I could delete the reference if I feel I can live without it. As an example I reference MSWord. But I have Word 2003. The new user might have MSWord 2000. I will get an error. If I could handle the error in code it would look much more professional. Thanks for your time If the reference is something like Word, Excel, or Outlook...you're better off not to have it at all. Use late binding instead (see help for CreateObject/GetObject). Using late binding, you don't need the reference and can trap error 429 if CreateObject fails.
