I have installed Access 2000 into a non standard directory on a 2nd hard
drive on my PC.
Everything works fine until I try to distribute the app using runtime
access.
When I start up the app on the users PC I get a dialog box,
heading "Error",
text "The expression you entered has a function name that can't find",
the only button allowed is OK.

I believe that this is down to the Reference for MSACC9.OLB (Access), which
on the original PC was on the G: drive, but on the users PC is on the C:
Drive.
I am unable to alter the reference on my PC because the file is in use,
either thro the dialog or thro code. Ideally I would like to move the file
MSACC9.OLB to a known dir on the C: drive and then during the install on
the users PC copy the file to that dir.

So I guess the question is, how do I alter the reference on my PC for MSACC9.OLB
such that it points to a directory on my C: drive and not to my G: drive ?

Any ideas or thoughts would be welcome.
 
If your are using the package and deployment wizard (as I presume you do) the COM components get registered on the client machine automatically (no matter what your configuration is).
You can set the installation location of you libraries in one of the wizard's dialogue boxes.
Well, what I am trying to say is that I do not believe that the configuration on you PC is effecting the installation on the client machine.
 
Actually the install was created using MDT-2000 and not the deployment wizard.
