I've seen this before. You've installed .DLLs specific to Win95. When
Access sees these (under Win 3.1) after the installation, it realizes
that some .DLLs are newer than they should be. For core .DLLs, install
the minimum required (Win 3.1 ones dated 8-15-95). If you're not using
VB 4's SetupWiz for your installation, try using it only for the purpose
of obtaining a base list of .DLLs, etc. that should be installed (see
the file SETUP.LST created during the creation of the installation).
