Missing DLLfrom A2K

I got my Access 2000 project completed and converted to a MDE on my
development machine. A buddy wanted to see how it worked, so I sent him a
copy of the MDE and BBOOOOMMM - failed on load. He's using Access 2002, so
we figured that the MDB had to be converted to a MDE under Access 2002.

So I gave him the MDB version and it still failed. So he hit it with a
debugger and it still failed. But this time, the debugger indicated that the
problem is in the switchboard module and that a DLL file is missing. Useless
debugger - it failed to indicate WHAT DLL is missing.

Any suggestions???
 
Open a reference dialog (menu tools-references) and see what is missing
there, all references whould be in place
 
The problem being, if I distribute an MDE, how would I know what was missing?
Since this is an MDB, the solution works, but for the original MDE, it's
insufficient.

It doesn't seem to be an intelligent solution to distribute the MDB and
recompile on every user's machine just to make sure all the references are
there.
 
intelligent solution - is to distribute MDE with references you sure in
place (or you install them), all other references you have to remove and use
late binding
