Access 2007 - Can't add reference to specified file?

I am trying to reference a DLL and any DLL I try it seems like this error occurs. I believe the DLL is already register as I get that loaded error on the regsvr32 of it. I am using Vista and Access 07. Any ideas all?

Is this an ActiveX DLL? If yes, you should be able to add it using, from VB, (Tools | References), [Browse] button. If not, you can perhaps simply declare the DLL functions, or you might need to load the DLL manually, using LoadLibrary in kernel32, before you can use them. A good example for that can be found here:

What DLL are you trying to reference? And what error are you getting when you try to reference it from Access?
