Missing reference module

G

Gene Hora

Using Access 97, suddenly Access won't allow opening any reports -- opening
queries or forms OK. Gives a message about a missing project or library. I
went into the code section and looked at the Reference Libraries and found
this entry checked:

X - MISSING UA OLE Control Module

I double checked this against a copy of the database on a different computer
which is experiencing no problem with the reports. This particular
reference is show thusly:

X - UA OLE Control Module

I'm assuming I have to find and reference this object. How do I find this
if it's not listed in the references? Copying the good working database over
to the other computer didn't do the job. Would appreciate any wisdom in this
regard.

TIA

It could also have been replaced by a different version. Typically, the path
is:

C:\Windows\System32\stdole2.tlb

Just reregister it with:

Start ... Run then type:

regsvr32.exe "C:\Windows\System32\stdole2.tlb"

and you should get back a message that the regisration succeeded.
