!!!Conversion Alert!!!
If your database has been converted up from Access 97, you may have some References checked that you no longer need. These References will also cause you problems in your newly converted version. Uncheck the Reference, select Debug and then Compile and then close your database. Reopen as you always would. Here’s a list of a few References that you can uncheck with no consequences…
Microsoft Office Web Components (Is not supported in Access 2007) Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3 Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6) (Unless you are using Common Controls this is not needed) |

6. With the module still open, select Debug from the Menu, then Compile. If the modules do not compile there may be additional unresolved references. Go back to Step 3 and continue until you can Compile with no errors. |

In Access 97 press Ctrl-G on your keyboard and then go to the Tools menu. The first choice is References. |
