Hello
I'm trying to open an Access db that is an older version than my 2k but I'm getting the error "Compile error. Can't find project or library". It refers to this bit of code -

Dim dbs as Database

If I press the help button on the popup with the error description it refers to the help screen with these instructions:

Can't find project or library
To resolve the references
1)Display the References dialog box.

2)Select the missing reference.

3)Start the Object Browser.

4)Use the Browse dialog box to find the missing reference.

5)Click OK.

6)Repeat the preceding steps until all missing references are resolved.

So, I go to Tools - references and it has a selection Missing: Microsoft Jet Help SQL topics.

So, I gather from the instructions I am supposed to find this in the object browser and add it to the references.

Well, good luck to me there are literally 1,000's of references in the object browser sheesh where do you begin?

I tried putting the offending line of code in the search box and variations of it but no luck. I also tried the microsoft jet sql help topics, missing reference and still no success.

Any ideas?
thanks

Duane
 
Well, I feel like a dufus I just unchecked the missing reference under tools and the things works now.
