Missing Access Reference

T

Tom P.

I've written some shared VBA code in a file I call
Library.mdb that I am referencing from another Access
application, called App.mdb. The Library.mdb file sits on
a file server and App.mdb runs from the user's local PC.

The reference was added within App.mdb using the fully
qualified server path \\server\folder\Library.mdb and not
some specifically mapped drive letter.

The application is launched via a batch file on the same
file server. The batch file simply copies App.mdb down to
the user's C drive and opens it.

I have users in several geographic locations accessing
this batch file to launch App.mdb. I have one location
where the users are able to launch the batch file which
successfully copies App.mdb to their PC but the app breaks
because the reference to Library.mdb file is marked
as "MISSING:"

For all other locations the app works.

I connected remotely to users from the suspect location
and navigated to \\server\folder\Library.mdb with no
problem, using the add references dialog. However, the
reference is still marked as "MISSING:" after I do this.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong or what may be different
about this site or these users?
