Broken DLL

[Alex]

Hi

Someone has sent me an mdb to look at, but when i try and open it I am
getting an error message:

Your Microsoft Access database or project contains a missing or broken
reference to the file OWC10.dll version 1.1

How do I fix this please?

Thanks

Your db contains a reference to OWC 10.0 translated = Office XP Web Components
which can be used for a variety of things such as an excel type spreadsheet
in a Access Form.

If you have MS office on your machine change the reference to whatever
version office you may have. I don't beleive OWC was availble prior to
Office 2000.
If you don't have MS Office on your system you are hosed. If you have MS
Office 97 or prior you are hosed.

If you have MS office 2000/XP/2003 on your machine change the reference to
whatever version office you may have.

TYpical installations will have the following locations

Office 2000 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OWC.dll

Office XP - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web
Components\10\OWC10.dll

Office 2003 - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web
Components\11\OWC11.dll

If you don't have MS Office on your system you are hosed (you will need to
delete the control / form that references it. I don't beleive OWC was
availble prior to Office 2000 so if you have MS Office 97 or prior you are

Open up any module > Click on Tools > References > Browse to change the
reference

Hope this help.
