Hello,

I sent an Access file to a friend and he has troubles to run it.

The database was written with "Access 2002" and
converted in an "Access 2000" format.

My friend has "Access 2000" and told me from an error,
which points to a not installed library for DAO (dao360.dll).

Please, what is a simple way for an Access 2000 user
to get this library (dao360.dll) installed?

Thank you for tips

The DAO library should be installed by default along with MS Access 2000. If
you are sure that the problem is the DAO library not being installed (and
not that you have a missing reference in the database) a simple
reinstallation of MS Access should fix the problem.

Thank you Ed!

Is it possible, that a wrong path of the dao360.dll is the reason?

Please tell me,
weather the references declared in a .mdb file
are noted by the object name or by the file name?

Because my friend is not an expert in the world of objects,
I would like to give him a short instruction to fix the problem.

DAO360.dll should always be installed in
c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\dao

Windows is supposed to be able to lookup and find
registered com objects, but Access doesn't work
correctly if the files are not in the expected place. That
is why this file always goes to the same place. You can
use the command line utility regsvr32 to re-register
dao360.dll if you think there is a problem with it.

DAO hasn't been included with Office, Windows or MDAC for a decade

DAO shouldn't be installed
DAO is a big fat memory leak

if your library makes you clean up before the variables go out of scope??

THEN YOU NEED A NEW DAMN LIBRARY
 
stfu kid

DAO is dead

there IS a new version of ADO in vista-- but not a new version of DAO
_RIGHT_

stick a fork in it kid; stop spreading misinformation
