Losing functionality after compiling to mde with MS Acess 2003

GIP

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum and I have strange problem with MS Access 2003..
I have a database which is splitted in a front- and a backend. The back-end
is located on a network drive. So far nothing new.

However I have tested the mde on my own pc and everything works fine.
However when I use the same mde on another environment I lose functionality
(e.g. A form won't open). When I compile I did not get any error messages.

Does anybody have the same experience and maybe a solution?

Best Regards,

GIP

Hi,
could be that you have some references in you database, which are not
present on "another environment". Check all your references and make sure
that any not-built-in (which are access, VBA, DAO/ADO (ado - version should
match!), office), present there. You can also try to compile MDB there, and
access tell you what is missing

To add to Alex's posting. Try running the following code and post the
results back.

Sub ViewReferenceDetails()

Dim refIDE As Object

For Each refIDE In
Access.Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References
Debug.Print refIDE.Description & " " & _
IIf(refIDE.IsBroken, "Broken", "") & vbCrLf & _
" " & refIDE.name & " - " & refIDE.Major & "." &
refIDE.Minor & " " & refIDE.FullPath
Next refIDE

End Sub
