Please I have code that opens a file box to capture any desired Excel files.
I have moved my program from 2002 to a workstation with 2000 and now I get
the following error:

Compile Error.
Cant find object or library

on this code downloaded from internet (Ken Getz)

If IsMissing(InitialDir) Then InitialDir = CurDir

The CurDir is failing in Access 2000 but again works in Access 2002.
Want reference or library do I need to resolve this please.

Much thanks.
 
Could be that the references are messed up on the PCs. If references are
messed up -- you can get strange messages.

Try following these steps (from a post by Douglas Steele, MVP):

This can be caused by differences in either the location or file version of
certain files between the machine where the application was developed, and
where it's being run (or the file missing completely from the target
machine). Such differences are common when new software is installed.

On the machine(s) where it's not working, open any code module (or open the
Debug Window, using Ctrl-G, provided you haven't selected the "keep debug
window on top" option). Select Tools | References from the menu bar. Examine
all of the selected references.

If any of the selected references have "MISSING:" in front of them, unselect
them, and back out of the dialog. If you really need the reference(s) you
just unselected (you can tell by doing a Compile All Modules), go back in
and reselect them.

If none have "MISSING:", select an additional reference at random, back out
of the dialog, then go back in and unselect the reference you just added. If
that doesn't solve the problem, try to unselect as many of the selected
references as you can (Access may not let you unselect them all), back out
of the dialog, then go back in and reselect the references you just
unselected. (NOTE: write down what the references are before you delete
them, because they'll be in a different order when you go back in)
