    missing or broken reference to the file '' version 1.0

    Hello!
    my access database as of late keeps raising the error "Your Microsoft Access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file '' version 1.0" whenever I try to create a copy of it.



    What's noticeable is that it refers to no specific reference mentioned in the dialog box, and looking under Tools > References, none appear to be broken or missing.

    Furthermore, the error only appears the first time each newly created copy of the database is opened and not thereafter.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as compilation keeps raising no errors or warnings and everything works flawless but the error keeps persisting regardless of all efforts..

    Thank you.

    It could be a control that doesn't show in references.
    or a different version compatibility.

    When it occurs, press Break to identify which line of code triggers it.
    Disable that line of code temporarily to see whether you actually need it.

    If that doesn't help, try decompiling your code. This will remove any corrupted compilation code if that is the issue.
    It only takes a few seconds and often solves issues like this. See http://www.fmsinc.com/microsoftacces.../Decompile.asp

    If still an issue after that, please post a screenshot of the error.
