I am running an Access database on a small network of 4 computers. The
computer the database resides on can no longer run the database. When I
investigated, I found that the problem is the Switchboard Manager can't open
the switchboard. The error shown in the subject is shown. The same thing
happens when I attempt to open the Linked Table Manager.

The other computers can run the database, so I guess this is a Windows
problem not an access problem.

Any advice is appreciated.

You need to register the DAO dll using regsvr32.
