Default Data Access Objects (DAO)

OK, after the extremely quick response with what turned out to be exactly
what I was looking for, I thought I'd try another.

I have written a quick VBScript in Excel to lookup in a database data that
was taking people 5 WHOLE DAYS to manually lookup. I have it down to 45
seconds. They are very happy, to say the least.

Only problem is when I try to run it on their computers. When I go into the
references, it lists that I had checkmarked the Microsoft Data Access
Components (2.6, I think) but has "MISSING: " in front of them. There are
about 3 different versions installed, with 2.6 being the latest. The DLLs
required are all present on the computer and I tried downloading and
running the install for MDAC again, though corporate would be unhappy about
the unauthorized installation and change on their setup.

There are about 4 computers that I tried this on all with the same results.
It works fine on my computer and a few others but these just have a
configuration issue that is different.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I tried all of the ADO options, all with the
same results. I could try dynamically loading the objects instead of using
References as I saw on a site while investigating the issue but that is a
workaround instead of a solution in this case.

Thanks for pointers!
