Unexplained DLL Error

[Marc]

Hey. I have an Access database which works perfectly on most of the PC's I
have tested it on - except one. I get the error 'cannot load dll' when it
runs the following line of code:

Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
rst.Open "Select FisheryName, FisheryID FROM tblFishery WHERE FisheryId="
& Me.FisheryID, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly

The Me.FisheryID part of the rst.Open command is highlighted. Even upgrading
to Office 2003 did not help. This machine is running on Windows XP with SP2.

The DB was develped on Access 2000 with XP SP2 and has worked on Access 2003
with XP SP2 on other machines. Will a re-instalation of Windows help? Are
there any other options?

Thanks.

It could be a problem with your References collection.

References problems can be caused by differences in either the location or
file version of certain files between the machine where the application was
developed, and where it's being run (or the file missing completely from the
target machine). Such differences are common when new software is installed.

On the machine(s) where it's not working, open any code module. Select Tools
| References from the menu bar. Examine all of the selected references.

If any of the selected references have "MISSING:" in front of them, unselect
them, and back out of the dialog. If you really need the reference(s) you
just unselected (you can tell by doing a Compile All Modules), go back in
and reselect them.

If none have "MISSING:", select an additional reference at random, back out
of the dialog, then go back in and unselect the reference you just added. If
that doesn't solve the problem, try to unselect as many of the selected
references as you can (Access may not let you unselect them all), back out
of the dialog, then go back in and reselect the references you just
unselected. (NOTE: write down what the references are before you delete
them, because they'll be in a different order when you go back in)
