When you install windows in a directory other than C:\windows
MSoffice installs differently too. For example, My computer OS is installed
in C:\WINDOWS and two computer in the clearning dept have thier OS
installed in C:\WNNT. because of this OFFICE is installed differently. That
does not seem like a problem untill you read the rest of this message.
All three computers have XP Pro and OFFICE 2002.
System 1: OS = C:\WINDOWS
OFFICE = C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\...
System 2: OS = C:\WNNT
OFFICE = C:\MICROSOFT OFFICE\...
System 3: the same as System 2

The problem:
On my system (1) the reference to "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library" does
not exist on systems (2) and (3).
However,
"Microsoft Excel 10 Object Library" does exist on system (2) and (3) but not
on system (1).

Is there a way to Programmicly connect a Reference library to a program.
Could I set the "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library" on a network drive then
set the EXPORTXP.MDB to look at the above library?

I understand that the registry entries should fix this problem. I just
don't know how to set registry setting manuall.

Your Opinions please.
 
AFAIK that shouldn't have happened. Office should have installed by default
in %programfiles% directory. You might ask them in;

Hi,
looks like you have Office 2003 installed on (1)
Anyway - for references - there is no difference where library file
installed, once it registered - system will find it
 
Hi Alex,
OK... Do you know how to register just "Microsoft Access 11.0 Object
Library" and/or "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library"?

I have problems with both.

Hi Dave,
I understand what you are saying... but.... The problem is here
and I have to deal with it. I wonted to format the harddrives. Install a
virgin OS and Office. I bet you can guess what the answear was. :) Now it
is a matter to find a way around the problem.

I guess any work around will require the References to be "stand alone".

Hi,
once it proper installed - is should be registered. Else - I would recommend
to repair office installation
