Distributing a workbook app with References
Hi there,
I have developed a workbook with a few macros one of which uses the Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library for the Calendar control. The question is how can I deploy this application so that this component is installed automatically without requiring my users to press <Alt-F11 go to Tools - References and add the Reference manually? Can this step be scripted out? I am quite proud of how this application is turning out and would like to make this step as painless as possible for the users of this app. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Ric |

Distributing a workbook app with References
If they have the same version of Excel as you, or later, there should be no
problem, the references go with the workbook. There may be problem if they don't have the calendar control on their machine. Are you experiencing a problem, or just trying to anticipate a potential problem? -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "ric_deez" wrote in message oups.com...

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your valuable input. I was trying to anticipate a potential problem as I was caught out with a similar issue before, but I do think that on that occasion the person who had the problem was using an earlier version of Excel... Regards, Ric |

Ric,
If you do have that potential problem, the time-honoured way of managing it is to do your development in the earliest Excel version, thereby avoiding the problem. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "ric_deez" wrote in message oups.com...
