Missing or broken reference to the file 'Axis.ocx' version 1.0

[Guest]

All -- I am running a Access 2003 database, and every time I launch it (I
have a splash page), 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."

Any idea what this means? and how do I go about fixing this?

Thanks in advance.

It means that someone has set a reference to Axis.ocx, which may or may not
be needed by the program. References can be viewed by going to any code
module and selecting Tools|References from the menu. You'll find that one
says missing. You need to determine whether this reference is actually
needed by the program, and if is not....remove it. If it is needed, you
need to find or install Axis.ocx. If the database you are opening is an
MDE, you need to contact the developer.

Paul -- thanks for the response. Throws a lot of light.

Unfortunately, I am the developer and this error occurs at the client site.
I havent actually coded this reference anywhere -- is there a way to tell
where this reference is used? What would happen if I removed the reference
without knowing where it is used?

Thanks in advance.

Remove it, then compile your application (on the Debug menu). If it compiles
cleanly, then odds are that you don't need it.

Thanks -- I looked at the reference : apparently, that is a file that is
loaded by Nero burning rom. I removed the reference and compiled no issues.

Thanks for all your help.
