Hi All,

Both of my mdbs were developed in Access 2002.

Till yesterday two of the mdbs were opening and working fine.

But today one of the mdbs is throwing the error below when the user tried opening it.

Error message 1

He is using Access 2003. suggested him to Uncheck the reference for OWC10.DLL OR select Microsoft Office Web Components 11.0 from references(in case it's Access 2003).He couldn't find OWC10.DLL and also found only Microsoft Office Web Components function library.checked that , but kept receiving error message 2as :--

Error message 2
Compile Error:
Can't find project or library


How is the other mdb running fine.It was also built in 2002 , and running fine in 2003 ,Access.If there's a reference issue, the other mdb also shouldn't have run right?It also requires the same references.


Thanks in advance !!

The references can cause trouble when they can't be resolved. Using a higher or lower version normally solves the problem, but when that's not the case you should add the proper .dll to the System library of the computer the databse is running on.
