Cannot find library on some work stations, other function fine

[Melee]

Background:
The application is on the server both backend and front end.
It is in Access 2000.
There are seven users.
The users are using NT.
On two of the pcs selecting items from the menu bar generate an error which is basically "VB error. Cannot find library. The function is fine on the other pcs. (It just opens an unbound form for developing reports.)
One of the pcs in question have the Access application reinstalled. This did not solve the problem.
How do I fix this problem?

Are you referencing any type libraries (DLLs) that are outside of the MS Access libararies? If you are, it is likely that the two PCs in question do not have these DLLs installed. Or it is possible that they have the DLLs, but they are not registered.

No, I am not referencing any libraries outside of the Ms Access libraries. Any other ideas?

Is it possible that the user (He has taken an Access class) has done something to corrupt the dll on his system? If so, should the reinstall not have fixed it?

The reinstall should have fixed any corruption in the DLLs. The only other thing I can think of is that there may be something missing from the installation. If "Typical" was selected during the installation, there are a handful of options not installed. You may want to check the installation options on the working PCs (you can do this by starting a custom installaion and taking note of what is checked as installed - after this you can cancel so you don't actually reinstall/uninstall anything) and make sure the same options are installed on the non-working PCs.

Good Luck.
