missing a reference

Hi. I have worked on an Access 2000 db and I have Win98.
My manager is trying to open the db on his pc and he has
WinXP and Access 2002. He is getting a message that 'Your
MS Access database or project contains a missing or broken
reference to the file 'RESEDIT.DLL' version 1.0'.
1. From what I can find on MS knowledge base, this may not
be a problem, however I have no idea what 'reference' to
select.
2. Following this message, he gets a 'run-time error
'-2147221164(80040154): Class not registered' and it
bommbs out at a point in the code 'Set con =
Application.CurrentProject.Connection'

Any help would be appreciated..

Sincerely,
Susan
 
Susan,

Usually when that error occurs Access is trying to reference a library which
doens't exist on the user's pc. It probably existed on your pc.

Open a module, then select Tools, References from the menu and unclick the
reference that is lableled "Missing".

God Bless,

Susan, it sounds as if you have VB6 on your PC and have set a reference in
the VB Editor to the VB "Resource Editor" dll (not sure why you would need
this, but anyway...)

When you distribute your db to your manager, his PC probably does not have
the "resedit.dll" and Access cannot find the reference upon startup.

You will either have to uncheck the reference on your PC, and re-distribute
the db... or go to his PC and get into the VB Editor and uncheck the
reference (which should say "missing")
