I have an Access 2000 database. When I make updates I usually update the front end database and ship it out to my users. In my current update I had to make reference to the Micosoft Object Library MS09.dll. So I have made this reference in my database on my computer.

I am stuck on how I can make sure that when the users run the front end database it picks up the reference to the new dll. Will it only do this if the dll is in the same directory as the one that I referenced on my machine. What if it is in a different location. Also, if the dll is not there how can I copy to a location and have my database reference it.

Can I copy this dll to the location where my database lives and make reference to it there?

I have a small VB app which copies the files from CD to the local drive. This is what I would use to copy this dll to the local drive. Where should I be copying it to?

If anyone can give me any info or show me how this is possible I would much appreciate it thanks.
Jim
