wsmAuto.dll message in XP

[gg80]

I do my design in A2007 with W7. My main user has A2003 and XP. This has caused no problems. When making changes, I just add the missing library items in XP and proceed.



I just added a "Search-as-Type" form to the program. On opening the file on the XP-A2003 computer system, I got a message that wsmAuto.dll was missing.. Also got some inconsistent errors while using the file.

I opened an older file version on XP - A2003 computer, then imported the offending form into the file. I didn't get the dll message and program does all that it is expected to do. I am reluctant to use the file until I know what is happening. I see on web various sites for importing the wsmAuto.dll, but none of the sources are Microsoft, so reluctant to do it.

Anyone have an idea of what is happening-should I ignore or take some action.?

Maybe this link will shed some light on the subject: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.85).aspx

It does give me some understanding about what the dll is about. Can't understand why error has happened now, after doing same procedure for 2 years. Not sure where to go from here.

Are you using any scripting?

Are you using any scripting?

I am listed as "competent performer", which is probably an exaggeration. I have tried to understand what scripting means and only found out that, even among the knowledgeable, their seems to be differences in definition. In short, I if I am doing scripting, I don't know it. I program a lot with self-taught VBA, using mostly this site for solutions when I get stuck. The form that caused the problem is a combo from several sites. I believe that the only code that I am using for the first time is:


(On keyup)

With Me!SrchAll
.SetFocus
.SelStart = Len(.Text)
End With

Maybe a Reference got checked in error. What References do you have selected? <ALT>F11, Tools>References

Maybe a Reference got checked in error. What References do you have selected? <ALT>F11, Tools>References

Here are the Library items:

Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Access 11.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft DAO11.0 Object Library
Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library
then:
Missing Microsoft WSMAN Automation V1.0 Library

The list doesn't include one item that I always include for this particular file: Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library. -I put it back in

When I click off the check box for the "Missing Microsoft etc."-the system works fine-no missing dll message and does all it is supposed to do. I think that this may be what you were looking for? Is this some anomaly or is there something I did to cause the problem?.

Before I forget-Thank You Thank You. I really appreciate the way you pursued this.

I call those *BOGUS* missing references and I'm not sure how they get there but unchecking them usually solves the issue as it did in your case. You are very welcome. Glad we could help.
