I just got a new PC at work, getting upgraded from Win2000 to XP, and I just reinstalled MS Visual Basic 6.0.  But when I open up a project, I get the error "Compile error:  Can't find project or library".  At first, I thought it was because I didn't have MS Access installed (the lesser version of MS Office had been installed on the machine, the version without Access), but that wasn't enough.  I found some instructions on the MS site about that error, but the instructions:

1. Open your database.  
2. Press ALT+F11 to switch to the Visual Basic Editor.
3. Open a module in Design view.  
4. On the Tools menu, click References.  
5. Click to clear the check box for the type library or object library marked as MISSING: <referencename>.


don't really make sense, mainly since, at step 4, there is no 'References' choice to click on.  So any help would be greatly appreciated.      

Hi

Have look at the references in vb after you have opened your project and see if you have a missing reference there.

References for vb is in the project menu item.

After having left this to work on other things, I came back to this problem that I posted a couple of weeks ago.  I hadn't really taken notice of the fact that when I tried to compile on run my project and received the "can't find project or library" error, a window with one of the source code files came up and the declaration line "Public Access As Connection" was highlighted.  I thought I'd mention this and re-post this note and see if this might ring a bell with anyone.  Thank you.

Well, I found the solution to my problem and it wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it was, had a new version of MDAC and a couple of code modifications were necessary.  Much ado about nothing.
