Missing Microsoft XML, v6.0

A

andyjim

A customer is missing XML, v6.0, and it is not in his list of references. He
is using Excel 2003. My version of Excel 2003 has XML v6.0. How can he obtain
XML v6.0?

Thanks, Andy

Have him search for the file msxml6.dll on his PC. When you select the
Reference you will see the path where it is located. If he finds the file
simply have him browse for the file in the REFERENCE BOX. The file may be in
a differnt location on his PC then yours. If he doesn't have the file simply
have him put the file on his PC and then browse for the new file. Often
REFERENCES are missing. There seems to be a problem with microsoft when
updates to windows or Office are performed the references seem to get lost or
point to the wrong directory.

Thanks Joel, I'll ask him to search for that file. You said "If he doesn't
have the file simply have him put the file on his PC and then browse for the
new file." Uh, where would he get the file to put it on his PC? And where
should he put it?

I just searched for msxml6.dll on my own computer. It was not found, yet my
version of Excel has the Reference "Microsoft XML, v6.0". What's up with
that?

Do as search for msxml without version and extension in case your PC has a
different version. I found it on my PC and work and at home in the directory
c:\winnt\system32. In the past I have found the dlls are in the Winnt
directroy sometimes the system32 directory and sometimes in both. If you put
the dll into a PC try to get it from the same version of windows if possible.

I didn't specify where to put it because it is up to you. Becaue you are
gettting it from a diffferent source (not microsoft directly), I didn't know
if you felt comfortable with just putting it in the Winnt (or system32)
driectory. if it is missing I believe it could be duo to microsoft not doing
an update properly, but somebody could of deleted the file by accident.

If yo uaren't finding the file it may be the way your system adminstrators
have installed windows. Some companies use differnt type installations that
the Dlls may be some place else. Look at the reference in VBA to see where
it is located on your PC.

suggest you set reference to version 3 or 4 which you both could have.
