Missing Reference Files

[Jim]

Does anyone know how I can get older versions of *.dll
files that are required to run my custom Access database
app? I'm missing two dll's required to run my app. The
versions on my PC(s) are not the version required. The
ones I have are not the correct versions. The two I need
are MSADOX.DLL Ver. 2.8, and a Visio dll: VISLIB.DLL Ver
4.1. Somehow I always seem to have reference file problems
whenever I redesign any db object or change code and then
import or export these changed objects. This is very
frustrating. I have Access 97, Access 2000 and Access 2003
installed on my PC (These are needed for various custom db
apps, some of which can't be converted to a newer version,
hence the need). I'm also using Visio Professional 2002
(one db talks back and forth to it). Also have Jet 4.0,
SP8. All these are on Win 2000 systems.

Do a goodle search for dll files. One of the first ones
should be a .dll repository that someone put together.
Sorry I can't be clearer about this, I just remember seeing
it in a search. Hope this helps -

Jim,

What you need is the MDAC for the ADO Extensions.

Go to the MS website and search for article 828396.
That'll get you started

For the Visio dll I've no idea but would bet it'll be in
that area of the MS site.

It does sound as if you're heading for 'dll hell', be
cautious with your application of updates.

Good luck

Nick,

Thank you very much! Your suggestion worked (at least for
the MSADOX.dll, 2.8 version)

Have a good weekend!
