application objects

[softwareguy74]

Are application objects, such as Access or Word objects installed with VB6 even if those apps don't exist on the installed computer? Also, if I create an app that uses an Access or Word object, and I distribute it, does that object get distributed with my application? Will it work even if the end user does not have those programs installed?

Any help would be appreciated..

Hi,
VB does not install these objects for you. They only exist if they are already installed on the machine. Same goes for distribution. ie. If you create an app that makes use of the excel object, then the users machine must have excel installed onto it.

Hope this helps
