Missing ddl file

A

Hi

I sent a copy of a DB via email to my colleagues in another office.

I don't want them playing with the code so i password protected it.

However, they're getting a message saying it is missing a ddl file -
'OWC10.ddl'.

I've no idea what this file is? Any ideas?

Secondly, i was hoping to send the DB with the code password protected
but i've realised now this could be daft as the user needs to add in a
number of library references. Is there any way to allow the user to
select the references without accessing the code. Unfortunately, i've
no idea what version of Access thery're using - i'm using Access2002.

Regards

Chris

OWC10.dll is part of Office Web Components. Are you in fact using it in your
application? If not, remove the reference before you distribute it. (If you
don't know, try removing it, then compiling your application. If you are
using it, the compile should fail)

There's no way to expose just the References in an application. You could
try using Late Binding rather than having References, but I'm not 100%
certain that's possible with the Office Web Components.

For what it's worth, References are stored in the application: users should
never have to go in to add them (unless there are problems with them in
their application)
