Please Help with Error 3041

[Virginia Kirkendall]

Hi -> didn't get a response to my earlier request. Any clue would be
helpful

======
Error 3041 Can't open database created with previous version


I've searched the newsgroups, but haven't quite found the answer to
this situation. The KB articles I could find seemed out of date for
this current issue - it mentions Access 97 and 2.0, but were having
the problem with database in version XP using new installation of
Office 2003.

We've got a new installation of Office 2003 on a laptop. The
error is produced when opening existing Access 2002/XP apps AND new
blank databases in Access 2003 when attached to our workgroup on the
network. The workgroup was also created in XP. The error is produced
before being prompted for username and password. Using the system.mdw
to open the database does NOT produce the error.

This is a tricky situation because it makes our Access applications
fairly USELESS on this laptop. These applications run fine in
production on other installations of the same Office 2003 on all other
machines.

Any suggestions are welcome -- Thanks, Ginger

The simplest solution would be to get the laptop rebuilt, since it's not happening to any other installation of Office 2003 on other machines: presumably some of those "other machines" are laptops too, or you could have a very nasty problem here...

Hi, I'm a student learning how to program in Visual Basic 6.0 so I'm not
really an expert. Recently I had a similar problem in my PC, I tried
reinstalling Office 2003 and Visual Basic, but nothing worked for me. But
just a few minutes ago I finally came with a solution that fixed the problem,
this is what I did:

- I searched for any "msrd*.dll" file in c:\ and I found these files on the
\system32 folder:
msrd2x35.dll
msrd2x40.dll
msrd3x40.dll
msrdo20.dll

-then, using "execute" in the start menu I registered them all like this:
"regsvr32 msrd2x35.dll"
then "regsvr32 msrd2x40.dll" etc...

And that was it! No "error 3041" message anymore! I think some of these .dll
files, or all, where not installed properly for some reason. You should look
for similar .dll files in your system and try to register them and see if
that works for you...

Good luck!
