Help - DAO

[Stephen Long]

Hi, can anyone help me please. I had to reload my computer from scratch
(XP-home, MS Office 2000). WhenI went to open some of my databases under
Access 2000 I find that DAO 3.5 is Missing - re-installation of Access then
the entire Office suite has not helped. Although the Available references
show DAO 3.5 as "MISSING: Microsoft DAO 3.5 Object Library" there is a bunch
of DAO 3.5 DLL, GID, AW and TLB files under "C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO". Anyone got any idea how to persuade Access to
register these files in order to get my database working again? Please reply
to (e-mail address removed)

Hi, Steve:

To register DAO, you could follow these steps:

1. search on the local hard drive for these 2 files at same time, type
"regsvr32.exe; dao360.dll" (or dao350.dll) (no quotation mark)

2. then in search result window, drag and drop the DLL file on top of the
regsvr32.exe file and you should get a message that register of the file is
successful.

Make sure use the DLL in DAO folder, use the regsvr32.exe in system32 folder
