I have a form I've created in Excel 2003 that used ADO to connect an Access
database.

After distributing it, one person has come back saying they get a message
"can't find project or library" and nothing runs.

I referenced a library called Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library.
Is this something that I can assume is on everybody's computer (they all have
Office 2003 - not professional). Is there another library I should be using?

in the vbe, you can go to tools/references and see if they have it listed and
check it if it's there. maybe they just don't have it selected.
i'm not sure, maybe someone here will know when it's installed. i know i have it
listed but am not using it.

You should have a 2.7 library... Choose that one instead. I can't remember if
2.8 was part of a service pack or not, but I always use 2.7, even though I
have 2.8 as I have run into the same thing...

It turns out that these libraries are associated with the operating system.

ADO 2.8 is with XP sp2 - and 2.7 with XP. I don't believe that Windows 2000
has either of these libraries
