Hello all - looking for a little help here.

I've recently complete a large Excel 2000 vba project (3.5 mb sans data). I
have noticed that many functions that worked in Excel 2000 fall apart in XP.
For example:
buffer = Space(varLength)
the keyword "Space" does not work in XP

So, in my searching of the news groups I've come to realize that I need to
include MSVBVM60.dll in my references. However, when I try to add it (it's
named "Visual Basic For Applications") I get the error "Name conflicts with
existing module, project, or object library". Sure enough there's another
reference also named "Visual Basic For Applications" which points to a newer
version of MSVBVM60. But, when I try to remove this newer reference I get
the error "Can't remove control or reference; in use" and I can't figure out
how to rename either.

(or is it the MS Excel 9.0 and MS Office 9.0 Obj Libraries that I'm
missing??)

So, what the heck am I supposed to do to make these basic functions work
(other then debugging all 3.5 mb of code line-by-line)?

Also, does anybody know how I can get the mmcontrol1 reference in there too?
I don't see this any longer either.

Thanks in advance!
