I have a customer (internal) that was using an Access 97 app. I was asked to convert the app to XP (they were all converted to Office XP Pro months ago). I converted the app and when I did so I started to receive error messages opening the app when the main form loads indicating that nsfile.ocx was missing. I haven't been able to find a single reference to this ocx anywhere on any of the forms or in any of the code. There was some code behind one of the buttons that originally did an FTP, but that had already been commented out and I removed it.

Can someone point me in the right direction to figure out why this form is referencing nsfile.ocx when it loads?

Open any code module and select Tools | References from the menu bar. See
whether the file is one of the selected references (the selected ones are
the checked ones at the top of the list). If it is, uncheck it, and back out
of the dialog, then from the Debug menu, compile your application. If it
compiles cleanly, you should be okay.
