Hi. We have four Windows 7 machines that all use the same synchronized database MDB split front/back end. It has been running well for about 12 years - Access 03 is the only app from that version of Office.
It is a complex application that runs a healthcare practice. We could not convert to ACCDB since synchronization was/still is essential.
Just upgraded all machines to Office 16, 32 bit, which frustratingly upset db references.
To get the Access 11.0 object library to display, I had to manually reset the registry paths for C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\msacc.olb …which worked, so these are the current references
1. VBA
2. Access 11.0 object library
4. DAO 3.6
5. ADO 2.5
The code compiles, but there are two errors.
First error (after installing Office 2016 and before changing references) "ActiveX component can't create object" on command to open a local Word doc, "Private Sub cmdOpenDoc_Click()"
Second (appeared after correcting references). Our application login screen uses fOSUserName to verify the Windows user ID. It won't run, blocking access to the app.
I've been involved in the design but am not a programmer. We are really in a bind here. I would really appreciate help.
