access thread: Switchboard manager: error creating


Message #1 by "patrick slesicki" <patrick_slesicki@d...> on Thu, 13 Dec 2001 23:52:15
Hi I'm using the Switchboard manager in Access 97. After creating a 

switchboard, I get an error message when I try to open it. The message box 

reads "Compile Error: User type not defined. Additionally the FillOptions 

procedure is highlighted yellow and the statement "Dim dbs as Database" is 

highlighted blue. Does anyone know what's causing this? I do have sp2 

installed if that's important.

PS the database I'm creating the switchboard for was initially created in

2000 then converted to 97. Only 2 tables were present at the time of the

conversion.

Patrick,



It sounds as if you have lost a reference.  Open a module and go to

Tools > References and see if any of your references are missing.

Thanks, that what it was. I was missing one to DAO 3.5, additionally I had 

to turn off references to ActiveX. I don't know what the 2 do exactly, but 

it seemed to work. Are there any possible dangers in doing this, and where 

can I find a good primer on references in Access? Many thanks again.
