MS Access Forum / New Users / October 2005Question about References
I wish to compress a 2002 version front end DB by creating a new DB and then importing all the forms and such from the old DB. Now I notice that it doesn't carry any of the reference over that are setup in the original DB. Is there something I'm missing or do you just have to go in the Reference section and re select each time.

References are carried over when you convert a file from an older version, but not when you import all objects. (not a good idea to have any non-default references anyway).

Thanks Rick SignatureJoe Cilinceon > The only ones I have is for Word and Excel so not a big deal. Those are exactly the ones you should consider not having. They are fairly stable, so you don't need early binding to check that the entry points haven't changed. But they may crash your entire application if they aren't present, or are the wrong version, or have been installed in a different folder, or have an obscure registration problem. Presumably, we aren't talking about an MDE, so if your application is only installed on your own PC, or you have a really firm SOE policy, or if you are making frequent changes to the Word/Excel automation code, you have fair reason to include the Word and Excel references. If not, you have fair reason to consider using late binding instead.
