error 48

[Mike]

When ever I open a database or when I try to run a switch board I get the
following message
error loading dll (error 48)

this is only on 1 work station the switchboard works fine on all others
and has worked fine on this one until machine crashed and then he rebooted
I have uninstalled access & re-installed but still the same problem.

any help would be appreciated

This error can indicate a corruption, and given that it was triggered by a
crash, I think that is likely.

A Decompile will probably fix it, but try this sequence:

1. Uncheck the boxes under:
Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect

2. Compact the database to get rid of this junk:
Tools | Database Utilities | Compact

3. Close Access. Make a backup copy of the file. Decompile the database by
entering something like this at the command prompt while Access is not
running. It is all one line, and include the quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"

4. Open Access, and compact again.

5. Open a code window.
Choose References from the Tools menu.
Uncheck any references you do not need.
For a list of the ones you typically need in your version of Access, see:

6. Still in the code window, choose Compile from the Debug menu.
Fix any errors, and repeat until it compiles okay.

At this point, you should have a database where the name-autocorrect errors
are gone, the indexes are repaired, inconsistencies between the text- and
compiled-versions of the code are fixed, and reference ambiguities are
resolved.

If it is still a problem, the next step would be to get Access to rebuild
the database for you. Follow the steps for the first symptom in this
