Broken reference to .ocx file

[mgaffney]

I have a user, who when they're trying to open up their database in Access,
receives the following error:

Your Microsoft Office Access database or project contains a missing
reference to the file DmiList.ocx version 1.0 (to ensure your database works
properly, you must fix this reference).

Any thoughts as to how I could fix this reference? I have no idea how the
database (or Access) is referencing this .ocx file, let alone how to fix it.

As usual, thanks to anyone who can help me!

First thing to do, if you don't think it's being used, would be to go into
the References collection and remove it from the list, then do a compile (on
the Debug menu). If it compiles cleanly, you may be okay.

If not, see whether you can find DmiList.ocx on the machine where the
application was developed. Do a Properties on it to see who released it so
that you can do some research to determine whether you're allowed to
redistribute it for free. If you are, try copying it to the other machine
(in the same location as on the development machine). In the Run command
line, enter regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\DmiList.ocx" (or whatever the
actual path to DmiList.ocx is)
