Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library Missing

[akphidelt]

Hi all, I have a little access application on my computer at work. I zipped
the file to a coworker of mine to take a look at. For some reason none of the
links work on his lap top. After checking his references everything is there
except the Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library is listed as missing. I did
some research on how to change this but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Does any one know what I can do to get the Microsoft 12.0 Object Library on
his computer.

Thanks for any help,
Akphidelt

First, does the coworker have Access 2007? (Office 12.0 is Office 2007)

Assuming he does, have you tried deleting the reference to Office 12.0, then
searching for it in the list of available references? It could be that
you've installed SP1 while he hasn't, or vice versa.

For some reason I have access 2003 and so does he. However he has the
Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library. But not the 12.0. I don't have the 11.0
Library. I had him try deselecting the 12.0 Library and selecting the 11.0
but it wouldn't show the controls on the forms.

I'm not really sure what to do here. I went to the path of the Office12 and
I do have an Office11. Do you think if I manually referenced the 11.0 Object
Library instead of the 12.0 would work?

Thanks for the reply.

If you're using Access 2003, I wouldn't expect the Office 12.0 reference to
work.

I'd definitely recommend changing to the Office 11.0 reference.

Thanks again Douglas,

However I tried adding the Office 11.0 reference through the browsing
option, however I can not figure out how to actually get it to show up as a
reference. Do you know the path to get to the Office 11.0 Object Library?

Thanks!

On my computer, it's C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\OFFICE11\MSO.DLL

Did you by chance download the 2007 trial?

I'm having the same problem; how did I end up with the 12.0 library? I
thought maby if I ran the updates on one of my end user's computers the 12.0
library would appear - based on what I'm reading here - it won't.

So I need to someone make the 11.0 library appear on my computer and then
use that as my reference.

This is confusing becuase I've used my application on my computer Access
2003, Windows 2003, SP3 and the application works fine on other computers
with the same setup.

I just have one user with the 11.0 library that cannot open the application.

I don't have admin rights on the users PC. Are you saying if I get one of
our IT guys to run the ms updates I'll still have the same problem?

Thx.

Are you using Vista with more than one Access version installed? If so, you
have to run as administrator or else the references get mucked up. Actually
they get mucked up a bit anyway, but when you have enough authority they
usually get corrected automatically as well.
