ERROR 3001: Switchboard busted

B

BillH

I installed SP3 on O2k.
Then I installed Visual Studio 97.
I am running Windows 2000 professional.

Now, every time I open a datbase, I get "Run-Time Error 3001 Invalid
Argument"
Seems like I was OK till I added Visual Studio 97, but I can't be sure.

I need this old stuff to be compatible with the computers I am programming
for.
But I cannot do anything anymore.

Somebody PLEASE have the answer!
I get an error between the lines of code for the switchboard that say:

Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open stSql, con, 1 ' 1 = adOpenKeyset

That's what little I know.
I never should have put a Service pack and a new program on my comnputer on
hte same day!

Your references could be messed up.

This 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)
