References greyed out

[galah]

I have Access 2000 running under Windows98 on my home PC. I copied the db I'm working on onto this PC but cannot access References under the Tools menu. It's greyed out. Any ideas why?

I'm a bit confused. If you are running A2K, references are found under tools in the VB editor. You seem to be implying you get to references from the tool bar under the database window which you cannot do in A2K or above. Robert Berman

Sorry it wasn't clear. Yes, I'm trying to open References through the VB editor. I need to set select some libraries so that the db I copied will work properly but the References item is greyed out so I can't access the References dialog box.

While looking at the code, the references option *should* be available. If
it is not, then perhaps you have a form loaded, or some code that is running
due to a on-timer event. I would open up the application and make sure
nothing is running when you start it. (try hold down the shift key, or go to
the start-up menu, and disable the start-up options).

Regardless, the references option should be available when looking at code.
The only thing I can think of is the some code, or *form* is loaded, and it
has a on-timer event. This simply means that code is actually running...and
during that time you can not change references.
