Hello all and thanks for taking the time to read this. A database created by
a previous programmer contains a reference to a web component file which
comes standard with MS Office called: OWC10.dll. However I am not sure what
this file does or what kind of functionality it provides. I looked at the
VBA code to see any *weird* calls or functions but I didn't see anything. My
question is, why would this reference be broken all of a sudden? If an app
continued to run despite such error would that result in a damage that can
cause corruption of the database?

Thanks in advance

Leo

A reference can get broken if new software gets installed, and it changes
the version of the file.

See whether you really need the reference. Remove it, and do a Compile All
Modules (under the Debug menu) If it compiles cleanly, you probably didn't
need it. (It's possible the original programmer started to use it, and
changed his/her mind)

Thanks Douglas. I actually should have mentioned that I did a compile and
didn't receive any errors. So probbably it was something that was never
used.

Again thanks for your help
