Object server not correctly registered

[charley Hankins]

Attempting to open a database using Access 2000. Get the
following error:

"Run-time error '336':

"Object server not correctly registered."

Can anyone shed a little light on this message for me?

Thanks,

Hi, Charley.

Can anyone shed a little light

Yes. "A little light" here is that the object library or ActiveX control
needs to be reregistered with Windows. Which one? You'll have to track
that down, possibly by stepping through the code in the debugger to
determine which line of code Access is choking on.

Once you find which library needs to be reregistered, find the complete path
and file name of the library. To reregister a library, use syntax such as
the following in the Windows Start -> Run text box:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO360.DLL"

HTH.

Ammendment: Database works correctly on W98 & Office
2000. Attempting to open database using a machine loaded
with XP and Office 2003. Thought that might make a
difference.
Thanks,

Addendum: This database opens on a system running W98
and Office 2000. I am attempting to access it on a
system running XP and Office 2003. Any
thoughts/ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,
Charley

When you open a database on a different OS you sometimes have to compile the
database to find any references that may not be available on the current
machine. Open your database using the shift key held down until the database
opens. Once it opens click on any form and select the 'code' icon on your
toolbar. Then select Debug | Compile .... If it errors out, it should give
you a clue to what is wrong. Sometimes it won't. In this case you need to
see what references are set on a machine that works okay and match those
settings on the other machines.
