Hello to all,

We have a user who gets the following error message each time she opens a particular Access database:

“Your Microsoft office access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file

Try the following:
– Open the database with the Shift key held down, to bypass the startup options.
– Activate the Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11)
– Select Tools | References…
– There is probably at least one reference that starts with MISSING.
– Make a note of the missing references, then clear their check boxes and click OK.
– See if the database runs OK now.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the quick response.

I will give your suggestion a try as soon as I can pin down the user. She’s been unavailable so far today. I’ll let you know how it comes out.

Thanks again…
