Difference Between Object Library's

I have a complex Access 2000 database that basically takes information from text files and converts the information into a Microsoft Word document.

The problem is this, in my Module I have the code written to format the document in Microsoft Word. The computer at work only has Microsoft Word Object Library 9.0. The database will not format the document as I need it to, however when I run the database with Microsoft Word Object Library 10, I get the results I am looking for.

I have tryed just about everything to make this work on the computer with the 9.0 Object Library, with no luck.

The Database is larger that what I am allowed to post on this site, so if anyone could help me, I would be more than happy to send a copy of the database to them to review.

Sure hope someone can help me with this complex problem (the boss is driving me nuts!!).


Thanks in advance.

I never use Word but what is the Word document saved with: Word 2000 or 2002. I'd have to say it was 2002 as Word 10.0 is Word 2002.

I'll assume you've looked at the references. If the data base is not compiled (to .mde) then I suppose you could run code to set the appropriate Word reference as it should work.

i.e. (i can't remember the exact reference properties)

[vba]
Dim ref As Reference
For Each ref In References
If ref.Name = "Word Then
ref.Remove
ref.Add "C:\Windows\........"
End If
Next
Set ref = Nothing[/vba]

I am using Word 2000. In the code reference above, where would I place the code?, in the Module I have posted above?

I am not to familiar with using References, so how can I tell if the database is compiled (to .mde)?

Thanks for responding, and look foward to hearing back from you shortly.



Jack J.

What is not formatting correctly? Are you using a feature in word 2002 (10) that is not available in word 2000 (9) ?

Otherwise binding to the 9.0 reference should work fine. Would be odd if you have both available but only word 2000 installed though...

The alternative is to convert to late binding which might do the trick. What you have descibed so far doesn't make me think this is the way to go quite yet though.

:)

The Document in word is not being formated correctly. As far as I know I am not using any feature that Word 2000 does not have.

I currently only have 9.0 reference only on the computer where the database is. When I run the database on a computer with a later version of the Object library I do not have a problem at all.

I am not aware of how "late binding", and would be galdly open to try using it.

I would be glad to contact you directly or have you contact me directly if you like to see how the database is not doing the formatting in word I need it to do.



Thanks, hope to be hearing back from you shortly.
