I'm developing Access 2k apps on a Win2k platform. They work fine. I port them over to Access 2k on Win98 and library references aren't right. Especailly some VBA function calls (like Time()) and some active x controls (like Date Time Picker). How do I update these dll's on the Win98 machine?
 
To do it manually, open any form/report/module in your application (each MDB/ADP affected) to the VB editor, and choose Tools, References from the menu. You can then select/deselect/browse to the DLLs you need.

To do it automatically with VBA code, the Access online help has examples under Reference Object, References Collection Example.


 
Thank you. But actually I knew about references. My problem is that the computer I'm running the app on can't find the library I'm referencing. For instance, common dialog control sp4. I'm not sure where to find updates for these dll's. I'm using VBA, but there must be an updated VB or VBA library that Win98 doesn't have and Win2K does. Some simple VBA functions just aren't recognized on Win98. Also, I'm using the date picker that works like a combo box. Fine on Win2K, no library for it in Win98. How do I get it onto the machine? Where can I go to download an update?
