Error loading DLL

Office Pro 2003 on XP Home, all updates apllied. I get the above message
before I can do almost anything. I have repaired the installation from the
program, from the original CD and remove and reinstalled completely, nothing
works. VB/Tools/References reports Missing link to DLL but doesn't help
either.
Very frustrating, please help.

What DLL is it complaining about? Does that DLL exist on your machine where
it's looking for it? Try using regsvr32.exe to reregister the DLL.

Access does not tell me which DLL

You said that Tools | References was reporting a missing DLL. Did you not
mean that something there was marked as MISSING:? If so, what's marked as
MISSING:?

The first thing to try, by the way, is to see what happens when you uncheck
the reference that's marked as MISSING:. Back out of the dialog and see
whether your application compiles (on the Debug menu). If it does, you
probably didn't need that reference anyhow.

Hi, Tools/References reports file "DAO3032.DLL" version 5.0 as missing or
broken although it doesn't list it in the list of available references.
DAO3032.DLL cannot be found by searching all disks. A few references I have
found say that this file is for Access 97.

What version of Access are you using? If Access 97, try picking the
reference to Microsoft DAO 3.5x Object Library, if Access 2000 or newer,
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library.

Hi. Access is on version Office Professional 2003, in the VB list of
references Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library is picked, deselecting and
reselecting this makes no difference!

I'm not sure. I think the first time I checked VB/Tools/References there was
an item "missing dao3032" and I think I unchecked it and it no longer apears
in the list that I can see.

Hi,
OK, got DAO3032 from web. Where does it go and what do you have to do to
register/install it?
