I have a database that works fine in Windows XP, however, when I try to run it under Windows 98, none of the code will run and the following message is displayed:

Missing or broken reference to MSCOMCT2.OCX

I recently added two ActiveX controls (DTPicker) to the forms in the database. I'm thinking that this is the cause for the error and the 98 machines cannot run the ActiveX? Is there another date and time picker that I can use? Or is there someway to get this database to run on the older machines?

Thank you

Please note the database is in Access 2000 format.

Have you checked on the win98 box if the calendar control was installed with Access 2000 ?

Hope This Help, PH.

How can I check this? Where can I see a list of installed components?

In VBE (Alt-F11) go to menu Tools -> References ...

Can anyone tell me what to look for in the References menu to see if the DTPicker module is installed? I am still having problems with this-- some machines do not have the module and the database won't function properly without it. The DTPicker module is a Microsoft Date and Time Picker.

Thank you

Here are the the three ocx you should check for datepicker and calendar should be installed or packaged with your product with license agreement. (mscomt2.ocx, mscomm32.ocx, mscomctl.ocx)
