I received an application and when I go to run it, I get the following error message "Undefined function 'RIGHT' in expression". After researching, I have discovered that the application is looking for "Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object Library" and "Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library", but can not find where I can download these libraries. Does anybody know how/where I can get my hands on these? I have been through Microsoft's website without luck. One last thing, it has been suggested to me to upgrade to XP, but I have other applications that runs under 2000 and do not want to change my environment for support sake.

You can't download them: it's not legal.

If you need those libraries, you must have Outlook 10 and Word 10 installed.

If some of your users don't have those products installed, and your
application is still usable by people without them (albeit with reduced
functionality), consider moving to Late Binding. Tony Toews has an
introduction to the topic at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/latebinding.htm

I am a little puzzled, though, as to why you need Outlook 10 and Word 10
(they're from Office XP) if you're only running Office 2000.

The application was given to me from another developer, who as I have found out since operates under XP and 2003. I guess I need to investigate upgrading just the users that need this application in order to have the least disruption

Thanks

If the users have Outlook 2000 and Word 2000 installed already, try changing
the references from Outlook 10 and Word 10 to Outlook 9 and Word 9.

With any module open, select Tools | References from the menu bar, uncheck
the Outlook 10 and Word 10 references and scroll through the list of
available references for Outlook 9 and Word 9. To see whether the code is
using features of either product that aren't available in the older version,
compile your application (under the Debug menu).
