Hi,

Is it possible to use code to modify references for an application? Can I,
for example, set up some code that will run when an app is launched and, if
the user's machine has office 10 then a reference to Microsoft Office Word 10
Object Library will be selected even though the development machine had
Office 11?

Boiled down to it's essence, can I add/change/remove references via code
based on some testable criteria like the existence of a particular file on
the computer on which the application is running?

Thanks,
CW

It's safer to use late binding and use a default object identifier like
"Winword.Application" without any version number.

Hope that helps

thanks a lot for the replies.

I'll look into it. I don't have a great deal of experience automating word
as it is, but maybe I can figure it out.
