Good day everyone.

I'm trying to fix several broken references in an Access application. When I go to Tools -> References the message
Error accessing the system registry appears. I'm working on a Windows 7 laptop and my clients are on Windows 10. The Access application is in a Windows 32 server. The application was developed as a 2003 version.

I suspect that whatever I need to use the references was changed, moved or deleted on a MS Office update or other.

I didn't try to correct the registry. I hardly know much about it. checked this path on the registry and the FullInstallVer wasn't there: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DataAccess\FullInstallVer

Another thing I noticed is that in the Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft Office all apps don't have their logo in front of them but an image of a system window.

I appreciate your recommendations.

Stay safe.



 
I am betting you have this resolved by now but I would try reinstalling office on the machine where you get the error or try a different machine. If it is a registry error, the registry is specific to the machine... if you get the error on multiple machines, the error is wrong.
