Change References to Type Library

[Rofeu]

Hello,

my code uses 2 type libraries from Lotus Notes. This is no problem as long as other people have the same version of Lotus Notes, but when they don't these libraries are not picked up.

I've tried copying the libraries to another folder and setting the reference to these, but that doesn't work. Even looking them up through the browse option in the Reference Dialog and opening them doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Does anybody know a way to set references to libraries depending on the version of an application?

Cheers,

Roel

Late binding ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

And more late binding. To deal with this issue is, as far as I'm concerned, the only reason for using it.

Hello,

thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea how to go about that.

Can you get me started on how I can accomplish this?

Cheers,

late vs early binding

There are many other possible sites that explain binding. Try Google.

Essentially early binding uses a reference to an application, and that reference is version specific as it is bound to a specific library (set in Tools > References).

Late binding uses a reference to an object and is version independent.

It is a bit more complicated than that, but if you have issues with versions, then use late binding.

I have the same problem, although mine is with shockwave flash. Since it is version specific, my model gives an error to all users who have upgraded their software.

Hi,

ok, let me see if I got this right.

My regular way of accessing libraries is through
Tools --> References and then selecting, say, Lotus Domino Objects. I can then say:

Dim Session as NotesSession
Set Session = New NotesSession

This constitutes to Early Binding.

To use Late Binding, I'll need

Dim Session as Object
Set Session = CreateObject(,"Notes.NotesSession")

The only real difference is that a problem arises when I use code that is version specific?
