How to find missing DLL's 1

I created a database for a friend that gets data from an excel file.

I added two references...

1. Microsoft Excel 10.0 Object Libray (for apparent reasons for my statement above)
2. Microsoft Office 10.0 Object Libray (in order to show a Open File Dialog Box to allow them to pick the excel file to pull into the app)

He does not have these references on his machine. Should he re-install MS Access, the entire MS Office or get the DLL's from somewhere and put them on his machine? If he needs to get them and put them on, what does he get? I cannot see the actual file name because the path is too long in the references box.

Thanks.

Hello,

Off the top of my head, mso.dll would be ms office and I think the excel executable is the reference for excel - excel.exe so I would think the references probably exist - just need to find and register them.

When you find them on your machine, note the file path have your friend browse for the references first. If none are found, if he is running the same version of office, you can always email the missing files and have your friend add the missing references.


Hope the helps.
