hi,

i write a code in which i have inserted some DLL through
Tools>references....and i compiled my modules..my doubt is what exactly is
happening internally...ie is that DLL is compiled with my application...if i
deployed my DB in some other machine whether my application will work fine? i
want to know what is happening inside?

thanks in advance..

with regards

Any dll's that you are using are outside of both your mdb and
mde Access files. If your Access application is dependent on
a particular dll being installed that is outside the normal operating
set, then you'll need to include a copy of the dll when releasing
your Access code to other machines. With some systems, and I
don't know exactly why, it might be necessary to install the dll in
the Windows\System32 folder.

Not only that, but Access tends to be very sensitive about versioning. It's
entirely possible that your user could have the same DLL filename in the
same location as on the development machine, but if it's a different
version, the Reference can be broken.

Be aware, too, that it's not always a case of simply copying DLLs. Some DLLs
have dependencies that must be observed, and ActiveX DLLs also need to be
registered.

On the other hand, the Windows\System32 issue shouldn't be system dependent.
