ActiveX component can't create object Access 2003

"ActiveX component can't create object"

ASKER

the 1st one:

1. On the computer that hosts Microsoft Windows Terminal Server or the computer on which Microsoft Access is installed, click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type regsvr32 followed by the path to your DAO file. Enclose this path in quotation marks. For example, to register the DAO 3.5 library, use the following command: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL"  

>> What other ActiveX controls have u got?
that was the only one so far
and when u registered, it registered fine?
sometimes its worth unregistering then re-registering

after u registered, did u check the referenceS? go to vba window/select tools/references
ensue u have latest version checked

to unregister

regsvr32 /u
can you be a bit more expecific how do it registerin and unregidtering?
this is what i got on that message after i run what i was asked to run:

RegSvr32
dllRegisterServer in C:\program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.DLL succeeded.
when i try to open the preferences i got this error:
your microsoft office access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'DAO350.DLL' version 5.0.
i think is related to the error i have before
no probs
u have registered it, right?

Now scroll thru and u may find its shown as MISSING

Uncheck it (Microsoft DAO Object Library is the name)

click ok,

Now go back into References and check it (the latest version 3.6 I believe)
then click ok
i was in there but none of them have MISSING
