Then simply copy the updated BTRV110.DLL to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.

(2) The network administrator should also make this file available for those who installed Microsoft Access to their local drives. In such a case those users should also copy this file to their \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. ================================================================== ************************** WARNING ******************************* Due to the nature of Microsoft Access' setup program, if setup is run after updating the BTRV110.DLL file, the updated file will be replaced with an older version of the file unless: 1) Setup /n is run and "No" is selected in answer to the question "Do you want to install Microsoft Access on your hard disk?"
