I currently have a database integrated with MapPoint .
It works great for users who have MapPoint installed on their pc's.
But those who don't, get the error message that a module is missing.

Question:
--------------
How do I create just One Version of my database, and it be smart enough to
know
if MapPoint is installed & not show the error messages at start-up?
--------------

I can create 2 versions, but since this database is still "In Progress" I
would rather just
maintain only one.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Use late binding.

i.e. don't set a reference to the Mappoint library, and code like this:-

Dim oApp As Object

Set oApp = CreateObject("mappoint.application")

You'll then need to error trap here, but you'll not get any error at start up.
