WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the delayload linker option when you build the application. For example,

/delayload:oleacc.dll

You must also add Delayimp.lib to the Additional Dependencies linker option. If you do not do this, you may receive an "unresolved external" error message when you link your application.
