My work office set-up has a dll conflict. I have little control over the environment. The software install was DESIGNED to share the same key and need different values/dlls.

I need the below reg key vale to point to two different dlls depending on if I want to use a connection string to connect to an Excel workbook (as below), and another (3.0) dll if I want to launch MS Access.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel]
"win32"="C:\WINDOWS\system32\msexcl40.dll"

I can swap the reg key value based on which I want to do. The rub is that the PC is a terminal server with a dozen users. Any worries as to the (in)stability of MS Access if the reg key value it needs to launch winks in and out of existence?

Thanks,
Brian
