broken reference to the file 'MSOWC.DLL' version 1.0.

[rammalamma]

I use Access 2000 and Access 2003 over a network.

The Access 2000 can use the db program with no errors, the 2003 install can't. I get two errors. I'll start with the first.

Your Microsoft Office Access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'MSOWC.DLL' version 1.0.

I tried converting the Access file to 2003, but it did not fix the problem. Any ideas?

While in VBE (Alt-F11) check your references:
menu Tools -> References ...

Hope This Helps, PH.
