I have an app that uses Office 2K3.... but a user installing it says it tells her she need a diff ver of office....she has office 2002.. and i have 2003... how can i make this work without her updating?
EDIT:
IT said the message said this: The .NET framework installed but then said we needed Office Interop Access version 11.0.0 installed.
is there a way to include this? or should i have the user download/install it separately?
You're probably not using late biding when interacting with Office, if you switch your code to use late binded office objects then it'll work with multiple versions of office.
i hate late binding... such a pain.
You dont get the nice popups with the available commands. lol
any other way around this?
None that I know of, but not using late binding means you're binding to a specific interop which means you're setting your program to a specific version of the app (office in this case)
Generally people develop and test their Office app with a reference and early-binding, then just remove the reference and switch to late-binding when they're ready to deploy.
You should also note that you don't have to allow late-binding project-wide. I was in a situation where I needed to use late-binding once and I set Option Strict On for the project and then I set it Off only in those files that specifically required it. I also created partial classes and set Option Strict Off in only one of them and put only the members that specifically required late-binding in that code file.
ok, im stuck on this one part switching to late binding
I need to import a delim file... the import the data, and delete the file
AC.DoCmd.TransferText(Access.AcTextTransferType.acLinkDelim, , "NIA_Temp", "C:\NIA_Temp.csv", True)
