Grey,

Here is a previous post of mine that talks abort developing using early binding (for development ease) and changing to late binding (for release) use mail as its example. And another post on the advantages/disadvantages or early/late binding.

Take a look at this recent discussion on the topic. It answers a question on
CreateObject against New, but as these are intrinsically tied to late vs.
early binding, that is what is really discussed.

And here is a previous post of mine on how to go about the approach that Ron
discusses, so you will get an idea of the overhead
