Tough one. Conflict OWC10 with Access 2003 runtime

R

Rick in NS

I have a Microsoft Access 2002 application that was written in XP Office 2002
developer edition which used a OWC10.PivotTable The application performs as
expected on any machine running regular Microsoft Access 2002. However the
original XP Office developer disks are lost and the machine it resided on
died. The application now resides on a machine running Office XP 2002 (not
the developer edition)

I want to deploy this application using a runtime version of Microsoft
Access 2003 usng the replacement products I have acquired Microsoft Office
Professional Edition 2003 and the Visual Studio Office Access 2003 Developer
Extensions. The steps I have taken are as follows:

1. Create an MDE copy of the original application which contains the VB
reference to OWC10.DLL

2. Port the MDE to a machine with Microsoft Windows Professional XP version
5.1 SP2 and Office Professional XP SP 2

3. Copy the OWC10.dll from the existing Office XP 2002 machine to the same
machine in 2 above.

4. Run the package wizard adding the mde, the back-end, an icon, help file
and the copy of the OCW10.DLL referred to in 3 above.

If I install the package on the 2003 machine it was created on the
application can be run and performs as expected.

However; if I attempt to install the runtime version of Access 2003 and the
application on any other machine I get the criptic message "Microsoft has
encountered a problem and needs to close....." after which I am booted out of
the application. This only happens when attempting to load the pivot table
which was created using the OWC10.DLL The rest of the application runs
smoothly.

I suspect this might have something to do with licensing related to the old
OWC10.DLL

Anyone have any idea on how to resolve this conflict?
