Axis.ocx Error When Opening Database

[Guest]

Hi there.
Every time I launch my database (I have a splash page, dont know whether
this is related), I get this error:

"Your XXX database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the
file 'Axis.ocx' version 1.0

* To ensure that your database or project works properly, you must fix this
reference."

Anyone know why i am getting this? And how i can fix the problem? Im not
really really technical so i would need step by step instructions on how to
resolve it. Im not completely stupid though! Ha.

Anyway, any help off anyone would be great!

Thankyou!

Hi
The problem is caused because the machine used to build you database had the
Axis Active X control installed on it. I am not familiar with this control.
You can try removing the reference to it and seeing if it 'breaks' your
databse. Very often applications will contain references to old
controls/libraries that are no longer in use so removing the reference will
have no adverse effect.

1) Open the Access VB editor (ALT+F11)
2) Go to Tools>References
3) You should see 'Axis.ocx' version 1.0 with the word 'MISSING' next to it.
Remove the tick and click OK.
4) Go to Debug>Compile. If your database compiles correctly then this
control was not used in it. Otherwise it will highlight the code where this
control is referenced in which case you will need to either install the
control or rem out the code if it is not needed.

Glad to be of assistance . Missing reference cause all sorts of 'funny'
errors as you don't always get this missing reference message, e.g. the Date
function stops working.
