Changing References

[Don]

Hello, I'm upgrading an Access 97 application to Access 2003. I have some
old references such as Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5.0 (SP2). Where
and how do you determine the most current version of this control?
Also, I use the listview control in several places in my application. Do I
just need to update the reference for this control or would you have to
delete and redraw the control once the reference is changed?

Thanks

Don

In my experience it depends upon whether the controls are embedded on
forms, and/or referenced through code. When it comes down to references
in modules, you normally just change the references, but for controls
embedded on forms you can end up deleting the older control and adding
in the newer control.

If in a module you look at the references in a VBA module, this gives
information on the latest controls installed on a particular machine.

In general the reliance here is more on what is installed on the
machine, although some controls can be Access version dependent.

This is the downside of relying on these controls.
