Access Hangs when I attempt to view any code

When I attempt to view code in either ms access 2000 or 2002 on my
laptop access hangs up.

I realise that it is has something to do with an overwritten dll, but
don't know how to go about resolving it.


Thanks for help.

If you think it is an overwritten dll, try

Help|Detect and Repair...

on the menu bar.
 
Wayne,
This process does not work.Uninstall and Reinstall does not work as well.
Looking for help.

What makes you believe it is an overwritten dll? Which dll do you think was overwritten?
 
Does it do this for any database or just a particular database file? Try creating a new,
blank database as a test. Next, create a form and try to create an event procedure for it.
Something simple like a msgbox in the OnOpen event.
 
In that case, you are probably down to trying an OS reinstall. Try the install over your
current OS first and if that doesn't fix it, a clean install. Back things up first! You
may want to take this up with the appropriate Windows newsgroup if you need help with
this.

However, before you do that, you may want to try these articles.

In addition, make sure that everything is up to date on your systems, especially your
video driver, Internet Explorer, and no viruses. Also, do a surface scan of your hard
drive to verify that there are no bad spots (since both computers are doing this, not
likely the problem but never hurts to check). Most hard drive manufacturers have a utility
available for download that will do this.
 
Still no go.
Correction. this is happening only on one computer, not two. I had already
tried those steps as well. still no go.

Then it sounds as if there is just something about that computer. You are
probably down to an Operating System reinstall. See my previous message for
more information on that.
 
If you have more than one hard drive partition on the computer and you are
running a version of NT, you may want to try a "parallel install" on the
other partition before you reinstall to see if things will run smoothly on
the new, parallel install. The advantage of this is that you can simply
remove the line for the second install from your boot.ini file and delete
the files off of the second drive and you're right back where you started.
 
Among my installed applications was Visual Sourcebook. I believe that it was
checked as an Addin. Once it was uninstalled, I was able to access VBA code
without access hanging.

Thanks Wayne, Thank you all for your help.

Well, I'm glad you came back and told us what you found. I would have never
thought of that one. Thanks.
