missing reference file

[Treebeard]

I'm using access 2000 on all computers. I developed the program on a Windows
2000 machine. The network has two windows XP machines and 3 Windows 98. All
98 machines have the same version of access 2000.

I'm using ADO and two of the 98 machines do not run the program without
getting an error message and the program coming to a halt. It can't find the
types for the ADO tables. I go into the "Tools\References" and I see a
"MISSING" in front of the "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 library."

Any suggestions?

How to I get the two 98 machines to work with ADO 2.5?

Thank you

Jack

Uncheck the Reference, close/reopen the DB, then back to Tools | References,
check it and browse to find the .DLL. If it's not there, then you may have
to download the Microsoft Data Access Components. If you are using a Jet
database, perhaps you'd be better off removing the ADO code and just using
DAO.

Hmm. Perhaps you are using only DAO and can just uncheck the ADO reference
and happily run without it.
