When trying to open a DB file I keep getting an error that "The SendKeys
action needs the (My Database) utility be loaded." This DB worked fine on
XP. I loaded Office 2000 from the Original CD and got all the updated from
MS. Then I even copied the whole Office 2000 from my old computer to this
new one and it still won't work.

Help

1. Go to:
Office Button | Access Options | Trust Center | Trust Center Settings
add add your folder to the trusted locations.

2. Open a code window, and choose References on the Tools menu.
Are any of the checked referecnes marked as MISSING?
If so, see:

Yes there are two missing files. However they are old Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and
Adobe PDF Maker X. I don't even have those programs anymore.

Uncheck the missing references.

Then try Compile on the Debug menu. You may need to comment out the code
that was referring to the libraries you don't use. Once the code compiles
without error, the database should work for you.

Just uncheck those references, then.
