Access 2013 : catch "database or project contains a missing or broken reference" (ActiveX)
I have an Access 2000 mdb that uses a third party ActiveX control. It works fine except, when opened on a PC with Access 2013, an error appears when opening the mdb : "...database or project contains a missing or broken reference...".
Is there a way to catch that error and stop the error from appearing when the mdb opens?
The mdb checks for the ActiveX control on the rare occasions when it is about to be used, so I'd like to turn the 2013 error off.
TIA

When a dependency like a library reference is missing, the code won't compile so you can't catch it from your code.
