Error in Access 2003 (Updated)

Guess Who

I get this error message in Access 2003 :Your Microsoft Office Access
database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file
DAO350.dll version 5.0 anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help
 
Access 2003 (and 2002 and 2000, for that matter) all require DAO360.dll, not
DAO350.dll. With any module open, select Tools | References from the menu
bar. Unselect the reference to Microsoft DAO 3.5x Object Library, scroll
down until you find Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library, select it and close
the dialog.
 
When I do that the references is grayed out, and also when I use
Ctrl-G I get a box that opens at the bototm that says immediate. This
doesn't seem to be working. Any other options
 
Sounds as though you've got code running. In the middle of the button bar
under the menu bar, is the black square ("End") enabled? If so, click on it
to stop all code from running, then try the Tools | References again.

This isn't working

"Doctor, I don't feel good. What should I take?"

Please explain a) *what* you are doing, in detail; and b) *how* it's
not working.

Douglas is *very* good with Access. However, neither he nor any of us
are telepathic, and we cannot see your database. Please meet us
halfway.

This is hard to explain but I will try ( and I know you guys are good
at what you do) I downloaded the inventory database from the Microsoft
access website and that is what I am using. When I open the database
it comes up with the error about the broken or missing reference to
DAO350.dll so I click "OK", then a window comes up with the error
labeled Microsoft Visual Basic at the top with the message Compile
Error, can't find message or library.I then click "OK" and there are 2
windows open yet, inventory - Form_Switchboard Code and inventory -
Form_Products Code. If I go to tools : references is grayed out. This
is where I get confused as what to do. I hope this helps as this is
the best I can explain it. Thanks again
 
See whether clicking on Run | End helps.

Try holding down the Shift key while you're opening the database. This
will prevent the Startup code from running (no forms should be open;
close them if they do open). Then press Ctrl-G to bring up the VBA
editor. Is Tools... References still greyed out?

After pressing control-g a window at the botom comes up with the word
immediate on it and tools:references is grayed out
 
I used run:reset and then references show up under tools menu. There
are 5 items checked and they are as follows:

Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Access 11.0 Object Library
Missing:Microsoft DAO 3.51Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft Visual ApplicationsExstensibility 5.3

Thanks for your help.

THAT'S the problem.

Uncheck it; scroll down and you should find an unchecked box for
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library.

Check it.

There is no reference to DAO 3.6 Object Library
 
Then check the highest numbered DAO Object Library. 3.6 should have
been installed with Office XP or Office 2003 - you may need to
reinstall.
Click to expand...
There is no DAO listed at all, how is the best way to re-install DAO?

There is none listed but after searching there is a dao360.dll in
c:\programfiles\commonfiles\microsoft\shared\dao does this help or do
I need to re-install?
Thanks again
