I'am creating a runtime version of an Access XP DB which
has a link to Excel. On the development machine I've got
Excel 10 but the users have Excel 9. How do I refer to
Excel 9 when using the Package Wizard?
Late binding means you can safely remove the reference and only have
an error when the app executes lines of code in question. Rather than
erroring out while starting up the app and not allowing the users in
the app at all. Or when hitting a mid, left or trim function call.
You'll want to install the reference if you are programming or
debugging and want to use the object intellisense while in the VBA
editor. Then,. once your app is running smoothly, remove the
reference and setup the late binding statements.
Sample code:
' Declare an object variable to hold the object
' reference. Dim as Object causes late binding.
Dim objWordDoc As Object
Set objWordDoc = CreateObject(" Word.Document")
