Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,

Here's some code that can do it for you automatically. you will want to run it on app startup (call it from the on load event of your startup form.) Place this code in a module.
Public Sub FixUpRefs()
Dim loRef As Access.Reference
Dim intCount As Integer
Dim intX As Integer
Dim blnBroke As Boolean
Dim strPath As String
On Error Resume Next
'Count the number of references in the database
intCount = Access.References.Count
'Loop through each reference in the database
'and determine if the reference is broken.
'If it is broken, remove the Reference and add it back.
For intX = intCount To 1 Step -1
Set loRef = Access.References(intX)
With loRef
blnBroke = .IsBroken
If blnBroke = True Or Err <> 0 Then
strPath = .FullPath
With Access.References
.Remove loRef
.AddFromFile strPath
End With
End If
End With
Next
End Sub
This database was created with Access97. It looks like now that some people are trying to use it in the XP OS, they are having some isssues. There is one person here that has Visual Studio intalled which includes VB6.0 and has all the appropriate DAO libraries. He has no problem opening this up and receives no error messages.
I noticed there is a convert utility. Should something like this be used? What will happen when other still use NT4.0 with Access97? The user base will be NT4.0 and only about 2-4 people on XP.
