Adding References Necessary?

[loo8866]

Hi guys, ive been developing a database for someone. As some coding has been involved, I have added some references etc as I went along.

I'll be soon handing it over to them to use - will they have to add the references for the database to run on their comp? If so, is there more user friendly way of doing it than going into the VB bit etc?

Cheers...

no they shouldn't need to, providing their access is installed correctly

If you are using the same versions of Access, then there will be no issues. If you are using an older version of Access and they are using a newer version of Access, there will be no problems. There is a potential problem, though, if you are using a newer version of Access and they are using an older version. This is because your newer version may have newer references that the older version can't resolve. Therefore:

You have:                 They have:                Result:
Same version of Access    Same version of Access    No Issues
Older version of Access   Newer version of Access   No Issues
Newer version of Access   Older version of Access   Potential Reference Issues
