.NET build error-Could not locate assembly

I'm tryinig to build a .NET web site from the code provided by another developer in VS2005.  I'm encountering this error:

Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "dao, Version=10.0.4504.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.

I've looked for DAO-related files and I've found a DLL that's version 3.60.9512 . . . I'm guessing the original developer had a much earlier verion of something like Access or another Microsoft Office product on his machine.
Can anyone provide any advice on dealing with this . . . ?  Let me know if I should provide more information.  Thank you!

Sorry to be late getting back to you--I wasn't in the office over the weekend.  I did find the reference with the warning symbol.  Removing it killed the error,  I'm not sure if the original developer had anything going on in the code that needed that reference, though, so I'm not sure what the effect will be.  Is that somethinig I'd only know at run time?  Of course, until I can actually run it, I guess it would've been impossible to know anyway . . . Any recommendations on dealing with the matter?  I usually work with PHP and I'm feeling my way around this .NET stuff, so thanks for the help; I appreciate it.
