What does it mean

[Robert Gillard]

I have been passed a Access97 database that will not compact, in it I have
found a table called "Conversion errors", and it has an "Error Description"
of "Missing or broken VBE Reference to the file "dao2535.tlb".

How can I find what it is or what it did and then how to repair it.(there
is no table called dao2535.tlb)



Any help gratefully received.

With any code module open, select Tools | References from the menu bar.
Uncheck any checked lines that have "MISSING:" in front of them. I suspect
that you're not going to have the reference to the Microsoft DAO 3.51 Object
Library that's required. If that's true, navigate through the list until you
find it and check it, then close the dialog. Now, select Compile And Save
All Modules from the Debug menu. If it compiles cleanly, you're okay.

Did your database start life in a previous version of Access? The DAO2535
library is only intended for backwards compatibility.
