Access 97 not working correctly in Windows 2000--Reference Problem?

[dslane]

I inherited an Access97 MDE application which tracks projects. The programmers who created this application had deleted the MDB version before they left. Under Windows 95 and 98 the application runs fine (using Access97). The problem is the application does not work on a machine with Windows 2000 and Access 97 installed. I never receive error messages but the Command buttons that should produce recordsets do nothing.

Without having the original MDB file is it possible to get this application to ever work? Is there any workaround to this problem? I understand that the problem could be associated with the DAO references but I am not sure why I am still having this problem if I am running Access 97 under Windows 2000.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

hmm...with an MDE, I THINK you can open the database, assuming it's not password protected, using the Bypass (Shift) key...you should be able to view the database objects there...
