The Macro (or macro group) doesn't exist message

[Lhuffst]

I have an application that resides on a share drive. On one step there is a macro that imports updated information. It runs fine on my machine (only 2 people use it) but the other user, who just recevied a new machine, gets the following error.

[red]
The macro (or its macro group) doesn't exist or the macro is new but hasn't been saved. [/red]

I have checked for spaces, made sure it was saved, checked the registery settings that microsoft said we needed for access but the user still gets the error. I am looking for anything that can remove this message and do the import.
Thanks

A couple of things I'd look at:

1. Are both machines using the same version of Access, as well as the same version of Windows?

2. Do both machines have the same references enabled in the VB editor - if there is any VB code used in the database.

Is this a split database with 2 front ends, or 2 copies of the same database, or is it just a full database on a network share that you both access?

Sorry. It does have a front/back end but both are on the same server in the same directory. We access the database by a shortcut.
Yes we are on the same access and windows versions. Since both front and backends are on the server, I think the VB code is good. It is a share drive but we both have the same access rights.

The application imports a file that is downloaded from the mainframe as a text file. I had added a command button some time back so they could import the text file inbetween downloads (just a backup mechanism really) and if you click that button, the import runs fine.

The macro runs the same functions that are being run under the command button that's why I'm so confused as to what could be causing the problem. Thanks again.
