hello,

i am trying to figure something out. the facts:

- i have an Access 2000 app that ive converted to Access 2007 (windows
Vista)

- it uses several external references, DLLs and an EXE.

- these are managed in the VB IDE's Tools-->References... dialog.

- one of the available references is an .EXE that belongs to my team,
its location is in "C:\Users\foo\bar\someFile.exe".

- i now need to update this reference to point elsewhere.

....however, whenever i use the "Browse..." button to point to the new
location (same file name), it ignores the change, and the available-
reference remains pointing to the old location.

how does the Access VB IDE populate this list? is there a way i can
permanently remove the old available-reference from it? then maybe
"Browse..." will successfully pickup my new path.


thoughts? thanks!

EXEs used as references are rather unusual. I have to assume this is
an ActiveX EXE. As such, it needs to be registered using:
regsvr32.exe <path_to>someFile.exe

Then try setting the reference again.
