Re: [MS_AccessPros] Issues with msadox.dll in MS Access 2010

Forgive me John, if you've already done all this wonderfulness, but here's what I do when I have this situation.

1. With the References Window open I will hit the Browse Button to be certain that I know where the default search location is. On both XP and Win7 PCs, the System32 folder is the default.
2. I then would do a file search for the DLL file in question. It may be that it's found in the System32 folder but the chances are good that it's not.
3. If found within the System32 folder, then I look at creation date to see if there's a newer version somewhere else in a different folder. If there a newer version somewhere else, I will rename the older version in the System32 folder. To be consistent, I always add "_DeleteMe" to the end to easily find all files that need to be deleted. After renaming the older file in the System32 folder, I'll copy the newer version into the folder.
4. If my search doesn't find the needed file, then I'll do an Internet search for the DLL. The first place I go is: http://www.dll-files.com/ . Once found, I will download the DLL into my System32 folder and declare victory.

I recently picked up a client to modify an existing database and it has a reference to an external pdf file. I didn't have the pdf DLL but once found and downloaded, I no longer received and message upon opening the database.

Maybe this will solve the issue, in case you've not already done this.

Thanks for your help, however, I had already looked for an reference issues and can't find any. Its funny that when I add a control to a form, Access searches for the msadox.dll, finds it somewhere (it searches too fast I can't find where the file is) then everything works. However, if I exit the db and go back in and try it again, it has to search for the file again.

Everything was going well, however, when I tried adding a subform to a form, I get a message on the screen saying Access is searching for msadox.dll. Eventually it finds the dll and works. However, when I exit and come back into the database and try it again, Access has to search for msadox.dll again. I don't see any missing references.
