Missing references for Office on machine which never had ....

[Chance1234]

Got a access 2000 database,

The database is copied down from a server path on to each user machine.

Been working fine for the last year, now some users are reporting the Missing reference error,

nowt wrong with that, but all the machiens here are running office 2000

Instead of saying

Missing:Excel 9.0 Object libary
Missing:Outlook 9.0 Object Library

etc

its saying

Missing:Excel 11.0 Object library
Missing:Outlook 11.0 Object library

The users are still running office 2000. what could of happened to create the above.

There are no machines here running 2003,

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

Please read FAQ222-2244 before you ask a question

problem with this client is,

Cant regedit
cant create mde's

so everything goes out as a bog standard mdb, they now have users (whom they dont know who they are) runnign 2003. there not the brightest bunch in the box, os i can see them everytime opening the database and hitting convert , (not all of them use the short cut)

This is going to be a fun challenge.
