Missing reference SSAPI.DLL

[Phil Chenoweth]

My HDD crashed. I bought a new laptop (with XP Media). I installed Office
2003 with Access and did the online updates. From backup I installed an
existing Access DB, 'X.MDB'.
After starting X.MDB, the error message displayed "missing or broken
Reference to SSAPI.DLL" and then the editor displayed the code statement
causing the error with 'Date' (which gives today's date) highlighted. Tools >
References showed References greyed out. I exited X.MDB.
I created a new .MDB, entered the editor and set all the references that had
been set on my old computer, about 19, and exited. (There is no Reference in
Access called 'SSAPI.DLL'.) On re-entering X.MDB the above error message and
code display repeated.
i should be very grateful for any help as to how to get over this.

I believe that References... was greyed out because the debugger was still
running. Start your MDB while holding down a <SHIFT> key and then go to
<ALT> F11 and then Tools>References... and uncheck the one that has MISSING
next to it. Then OK back to your code and Debug>Compile. That should fix it.
