Re: Missing DLLfrom A2K

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

intelligent solution - is to distribute MDE with references you sure in place (or you install them), all other references you have to remove and use late binding

The problem being, if I distribute an MDE, how would I know what was missing?
Since this is an MDB, the solution works, but for the original MDE, it's
insufficient.

It doesn't seem to be an intelligent solution to distribute the MDB and
recompile on every user's machine just to make sure all the references are
there.
