trouble working with XP mdb open in access 2003
This should work okay if all you have done is change your Access version
(i.e. this is actually on the same computer without changing anything in Windows.) Suggested sequence: 1. Uncheck the boxes under: Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect Explanation of why: http://allenbrowne.com/bug-03.html 2. Compact the database to get rid of this junk: Tools | Database Utilities | Compact 3. Close Access. Make a backup copy of the file. Decompile the database by entering something like this at the command prompt while Access is not running. It is all one line, and include the quotes: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile "c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb" 4. Open Access, and compact again. 5. Open a code window. Choose References from the Tools menu. Uncheck any references you do not need. For a list of the ones you typically need in your version of Access, see: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-38.html 6. Still in the code window, choose Compile from the Debug menu. Fix any errors, and repeat until it compiles okay. 7. If your form has a subform, make sure to include the ".Form" bit in any references.
