Lost reference to VBA Extensibility library

[VanS]

Hello,
I have a vb6/Excel/Word vba app which I develop in Win xp pro and Office
2003. It uses a reference to the MS VBA Extensibility 5.3 library
(vbe6ext.olb). But when I install and run to test under a Virtual PC Win 98
Office 97 testbed, it seems to lose the reference and bombs out as it looks
for it. The 5.3 is supposed to replace earlier versions and be backward
compatible as I understand.
Does anyone know if there is something I need to do in the installer app, or
have any suggestions on how to get it to point to the correct location? Did I
need to add it to the installer app? I need to make the app and install work
on multiple OS and Office platforms.
Thanks, God bless,
Van

Have you tested it on a W98 system that is not a VPC image.

When you run an app on VPC under win98 does it allow you to reference VBE+
and work even from a simple test routine. VPC may have isue as yet
undetermined so I would try to break it down from this perspective. If all
things are true when in VPC then this should work. but I would want to test
it on a native platform to be sure.

What - you don't own W98 - call a friend.

On th serious side I would post to the VPC forum also.

Office 97 is based on VB5 not 6, so references to features in 6 could well not
work. Is there an extensibility library you can reference from the IDE in
Office 97? If not, perhaps it's not supported.
