Unable to open an Access database when using Office 2007

[Anders]

Hi!

I have a small Access database created in Office 2003 that won't open in
Office 2007 when using Vista Ultimate 64 as OS. It says something about a
broken reference called RMOC3260.dll. However when using Office 2003 and XP
it opens up without any difficulty. Somebody who has had a similar problem?
Could it have something to do with the advanced security in Vista, or/and
Office 2007 using xml?

This not directly related to Win Vista or WinXP, or Office2003/2007. If you
did a google search for "rmoc3260.dll:, you would have know this dll file is
used as RealPlayer's component that can be used in an application to play
sound/music. It does not come with any Windows OS automatically, nor with MS
Office200x. You need to install it your self. I suppose if you install
RealPlayer to your Vista, you will also very likely get that DLL installed
(not 100% sure, though), or you can always downloaded from the net and
install it (at your own risk, as is there or not).

Does your Access application does the sound thing?

Chances are very good you don't need that reference.

Do you have any references besides the basic three? Are you sure you
need them? Write down the path and name of the extra ones (or put the
following code in a module and execute the code), delete from the
references list and Compile and Save All. Keep any necessary
references and ensure they are distributed to the target system.

Sub ViewReferenceDetails()

Dim ref As Reference

For Each ref In Access.References
Debug.Print ref.Name & " - " & ref.Major & "." & ref.Minor & "
- " & ref.FullPath
Next ref

End Sub

For a very detailed page on reference problems see

Ctrl+G will take you into the Debug/Immediate window. Then click on
Tools on the menu bar and References.

Hi Norman!

I installed Real Player byt it didn't do any good. I got another error
message this time complaining on a broken reference on something that is
called LMTR.dll version 1.0. When I used XP I didn't have Real Player
installed!!

Best wishes
