    Access 2016, opening Access 2010 project - missing reference "IPEDITOR.DLL" v3.0


    "Access 2016, opening Access 2010 project - missing reference "IPEDITOR.DLL" v3.0"

    I am getting the above error message after designing an access db in 2010, and then having co-workers open it in 2016.

    Please advise how to add this reference so that this .ACCDB can be used across both versions of Access.

    THANK YOU

    here is the entirety of the error message:
    Code:
    The application you are attempting to use has a reference that it cannot resolve to an object, type library, DLL, or external database.  Either the object, type library, DLL, or database was deleted or renamed. Examine the Available references list in the References dialog box in the Visual Basic Editor ( Tools menu) to determine if any action is required. If you did not create this application, contact the programmer or administrator of the system.
    If the reference listed in the Available references list is preceded with "MISSING:" clear the check box to remove the reference if it is no longer required. If you still need to use the reference, clear the check box entry for "MISSING: <referencename>" in the Available references list, and then create a new reference to the file using the Browse... button. If this is an installed database application, you may need to reinstall or repair the application.

    $&%&, I may not have the rights to place such files... so, there isn't a library reference that this corresponds to, that I oculd simply add to the DB from a Office2016 machine?

    IpEditor.dll relates to MS InfoPath - you need to install this on your computer. If already installed, ensure you have the same MS Office 'bit' - 64 or 32.

    Alternatively, if your app does not refer to InfoPath in any way, remove the missing reference from the original file

    Thankyou. I am currently awaiting word from one of the 2016 users whether this change fixed the problem.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
