Changing Object Library References

[Bo Hansson]

I've made a small application in Word 2k VBA that is supposed to run even in
XP environments. My problem is that I have a reference to the Outlook9
object library, and this stops the application from running in XP. When
launching the application in XP, I therefore want to replace that reference
in code.

How do I do that?

Use late binding. Instead of adding the reference to the project as such,
use:

CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Then your app picks up whatever version of Outlook is available.

Thanks,

In fact I, use late binding, but had also added the reference to the project
as such.

Then simply remove the reference. If your late-bound code is working right,
all should then be well.

Test it thoroughly on all versions that it has to run under.
