Opening a project on 2016 that was created from 2010 "missing or broken reference to 'AUTHZAX.DLL'

[Tenmakk]

Hello. I created a project in Access 2010, but it won't work in 2016. I only have the option of using 2016 now. This is the error I get: "Your microsoft access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'AUTHZAX.DLL version 1.0' TO ensure your database or project works properly, you must fix this reference." I want to use the project on multiple computers that has 2016, so I need a permanent fix rather than just adding a library. When opening the VB it says, "Can't find object or property."

My program uses forms that will delete and create and format an Excel file on the computer based on what was entered into the form. I use append queries as well as queries that find the most recent record from a table. I use many forms as well.



Would it work if I manually added the reference in 2016 and then saved in 2016? I can post code also if that would help.

Thank you,
Brad

either remove the reference in VBE, tools, references, (uncheck the MISSING)
or
find the .DLL on another pc and add it to the missing pc.

I'd do the 1st and remove the ref.

The missing reference is the Microsoft Office Authorization Control 1.0 Type Library which I have never used
In A2010 its Microsoft Office 14 ... so probably its version Microsoft Office 16 ... for you
On my PC it says the location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\Office14\Authzax.dll though I can't see it there
Even so, the reference works when I tick it

Untick the reference & try compiling the code with the reference missing
If it compiles, ignore the issue

Otherwise, see if a reference of that name is in the list - if so - check it.
If not, you'll need to obtain a copy or modify your code so its not needed
