Hi,

Win XP, Access 2000. When I try to access Tools->references from the VBA IDE
I get the above error message. I believe it may be a problem with a version
of Crystal reports I had installed once. Apparently it changes permissions
on certain registry keys.

Would anybody know the keys affected?

Regards

Tom
 
AFAIK, one of the big complaints about the Windows registry is that it is
open for any program to modify any key (a security issue).

I think that your problem is probably because a registry key was deleted,
rather than "protected". That would give you this error as well.

Your easiest solution might be to uninstall/reinstall Access on your
machine. Mucking around in the registry is rarely fun.

HTH--

James.
