Error: Can't start the wizard, query, or add-in

[lorirobn]

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions for this error...

Everything on my db was working fine (famous last words, I know).
And all of a sudden, today I am having an error regarding Wizards.

It happens a couple of times.
First, when I attempted to use an add-in I have called Find and Replace, I got an error message with the red 'X' saying "can't find the wizard, or the wizard has not been installed, or there is a syntax error in the Declarations section of a Visual Basic module". It goes on to say something about the libraries key in my windows registry, and more. I thought it was an error with the add-in, but then I got an error while editing a form and attempting to click on the ellipsis (...) on a control's field name. This gave me a similar error, saying "can't start the wizard, builder, or add-in".

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, and everything was working fine just the other day.

Any suggestions? This is baffling me, and I hope it isn't too bad of a scenario.

Thanks,
Lori

Did you check your VBA references?

Could you explain what you mean by VBA references? (I'm somewhat new, 1 year to Access/VBA).
thanks...

When in VBE (Ctrl+G) menu Tools -> References ...
Does the database compiles properly ?
menu Debug -> Compile ...

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for the explanation, PHV.

I just re-installed the add-in that I was having a problem with, on the recommendation of the developer, and now, lo and behold, everything seems to be working fine. It also turns out that the one other area I was having a problem with was related to the add-in after all.

Strange, but glad all is fine today.

Thanks for the help,
Lori
