Access 97 to 2003 DAO error

[Pam Hall]

I am testing the conversion of a really simple database
in Access 97 to Access 2003 I get a "Missing
or broken VBE reference to file "dao2535.tlb"." There are
no modules or macros in this database that I can see ( I
did not create it) Should I be concerned or delete the
error table and move on?

dao2535.tlb was something that could be included in Access 97 to allow
backwards compatibility with Access 2.0 syntax. As far as I know, you
stopped being able to use it in Access 2000.

If you have no modules, either create one (you don't have to save it) or
open the Debug Window, using Ctrl-G, provided you haven't selected the "keep
debug window on top" option. Select Tools | References from the menu bar.
Examine all of the selected references, looking for anything that mentions
2.5. Uncheck it if you find it, and back out of the dialog.

With the module (or Debug Window) still open, go to Debug | Compile And Save
All Modules on the menu bar. If there are no errors, your database mostly
didn't require that reference.
