Trouble operating the switchboard

[evonk]

I recently converted a 2000 version file to a 1997 file. The switchboard had be working fine on the 2000 but it gave me problems with the conversion. I decide to start from scratch with the switchboard but I'm still getting the same error. The error is when the switchboard form is selected: Compile error: user defined type not defined. the code Private Sub fill options is yellow highlighted and a couple of lines down the code Dim dbs As Database is blue highlighted.

Hi!

I think the database still "believes" it's 2000;-)

You can either:
Go to any code module (hit CTRL+G), use Tools | References and check the Microsoft DAO 3.# Library. After that, you'll probably have to find any lines with.

[tt]dim <somevariable> as database
dim <somothervariable as recordset>[/tt]

And change them to:

[tt]dim <somevariable> as dao.database
dim <somothervariable as dao.recordset>[/tt]

I think another possibility is to create a new database, import all objects except the switchboard, and then create the switchboard there.
