How to fix a missing reference in Access

[Anna Raltcheva]

Hi, we are using Access 2002 at work- on a network drive- after making some
updates to the file- adding and modifying queries and reports, we pasted the
last file in the original location. After that change, few people are
receiving the following message before opening the file: database contains
missing reference to the file owc10.dll version 1.1. It shows that this
particular reference as missing in the reference menu, but they all have the
file in the C: directory on their computer.
Why not everyone has the same problem- is it the version of the file?
How to fix that missing reference if I don’t see it in the reference list?
Thank you

It could be version problems, or it could be that the file was installed on
each machine but not registered.

To add a reference that doesn't show up in the list, click on the Browse
button to the right of the list and navigate until you find the file in
question.

Unless you are doing something wield it is unlikely you even need that
reference. I'd try removing it and compiling it to see if all your
code still works.
