checking if references are correct in distributed app

[Ben M]

Hi there

I build bespoke dbs for clients. I often get the problem of incorrect
references (for Word or Outlook) when I install the database.

I know that many of you will tell me to use late binding instead of early
binding (I only just realised I could do this), BUT, is there a way I can
programmatically check the references are working when the database is
started, and if not, have the reference window pop up? I'd like to do this
without using any 3rd party software.

Tell me if I'm asking too much.

You can check for broken references at startup, but you cannot take any
action to fix it.
