After re-installing a computer onto a network a previously working access
database form could not be opened. It could not be opened by double clicking
the icon or opening the form in design view. The only that seemed to change
was the form could be renamed, but this wasn't actioned. Microsoft office
2003 has been reinstalled a number of times, and we have also tried repairing
access, both have been unsuccessful.
The strange thing is that the form can be opened by other computers
connected to the network. Can anybody help??


Thanks,
Darren Christensen
 
Make sure all your object libraries are in place on the new computer. This
happened to me recently. One of our users got a new machine, and the
standard image they use now does not include all the Office DLLs. Go into VB
editor, check references. If you see "Missing" in any of the references,
that will be the problem.
 
Hi Klatuu,

Thanks for the response. We checked all the references but none of them
were missing. Do you have any other suggestions?

Click to expand...

Try checking any other reference in the references list (doesn't
matter which); close Access, reopen it, uncheck that reference, close
and open again. This should relink.

If that fails, see the suggestions at
http://www.granite.ab.ca/corruptmdbs.htm, especially the undocumented
Decompile option. Your database may be subtly corrupt.
