Missing Reference...

[Matt]

I have an Access application that was created way back
when.. There is reference to "msiSys OLE Control
Module". When this application is moved to a WinXP
machine this reference seems to be missing.

I have unselected the reference but that causes the app
to cause errors.

Any idea how I can get this reference on an XP machine??
It's the only one missing...

Thanks,

Matt

I don't recognize the name as being from Microsoft, but that doesn't mean
anything.

On a machine where it works, find out what file that reference points to.
Open the References list using Tools | References when you have a module
open, highlight that specific reference and the file name will be near the
bottom of the dialog box. If you're not seeing the entire file name there,
try running the following code:

Sub ListReferences()
Dim refCurr As Reference

For Each refCurr In Application.References
Debug.Print refCurr.Name & ": " & refCurr.FullPath
Next refCurr

End Sub

Once you know the file name, go to
http://support.microsoft.com/servicedesks/fileversion/dllinfo.asp and input
the file name. If it's from Microsoft, it should come back and tell you
where it comes from.

If it doesn't show up there, you'll have to find out where it came from in
some other way.
