Access Developer Advice needed

[Legions]

Using 2002 Developer, built a very nice application for a customer but their desktops are really a mess. Mess as in - no on staff IT person so the end-user is taking care of their own windows updates etc..

To avoid problems we figured the Developer Run-times would fix the problem.. but we ran into that BUG that you need to recompile the References when the program starts.

Due to this reference check we have to leave the program in MDB state and can't use the MDE (I believe our Reference code can not complete if we are in the MDE state).

We have the Data Tables in a separate MDB on the network, and we are trying to find a way to get past this reference problem but still use the MDE packager function.. I feel we are S.O.L..

Anyone run into similar problems and how did you overcome them?

Thanks in advance!

I've never run into that problem. I'm assuming you compile you .mdb file before you distribute it. I have experienced the problem of missing references. If no one comes up with any ideas for you, and you have to distribute the .mdb file, you might want to implement security. Then the users cannot modify your database objects nor access your code.
