Currentproject.Connection Problem

Got a problem here we can't work out. When trying to access Currentproject.Connection it bombs out
ie ?Currentproject.Connection in the debug window it brings up the following error

Error: -2147024714(800700B6)
The operating system cannot run %1

It has worked fine up until yesterday, I'm assuming it's something to do with one of the DLLs somewhere, I've tried reinstalling ADO, Repairing Office and cursing and swearing a lot.

The %1 could point to a missing parameter or a field that's no longer "known"
On the other hand I would first check manually or the target of the connection is reachable, as with the minda virus a lot of servers have been "closed"...

It's just an access database, one of the apps that uses it connects to our sql server but the other is just local so that cant really be it.
Did you also try to increase the Timeout from the default 60 to e.g. 600 ?

Even if you create a blank empty database, open the debug window and type ?currentproject.connection it comes up with the error and it's only on that computer

thats because its a connection object.

as in an ADO connection object.

you would have to say currentProject.connection.connectionstring in order to see anything at the ??

it goes without saying that I am now having an identical problem...
