Error in loading DLL on 32 bits machines after editing file on 64bit machines.

So, I've got this access app that's developed in access 2002 32 bits.



I installed windows 7 64 bits on my machine, and for a few weeks I could program said app on it without problems. Fast forward to some time and updates and for some reason, whenever I edit the app in my 64bits machine it runs fine, but after I copy said file to another machine, with windows xp, it stops working and just displays an error "Error loading dll".

What's up with that?

Is the same version of access installed on both computers.

I suspect not. I would guess that the computer you're doing your development on has a newer object library and every time you do your development it reverts to that so when you then try to open it with the older version it's trying to user a driver it does not have and therefore fails.
