Missing reference to OWC10.DLL - how to fix?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello -
I support several Access 2002 databases. Yesterday, when opening one of
them, I received the following error message: Your Microsoft Access database
or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'OWC10.DLL'
version 1.1.
Upon opening the Available References (Under Tools, References), I found
that the reference for this file was checked, but the description read:
"Missing: Microsoft Office XP Web Components". The properties box showed
the correct path location for the file (C:/Program Files/Common
Files/Microsoft Shared/Web Components/10/OWC10.DLL) but apparently couldn't
access it. I checked some of my other databases and they were correctly
referencing the file without errors.

The main problem that I notice in the problem database is that the default
date function "Date()" is not working correctly in any of the forms. Any
suggestions on how to correct the missing reference? I'm hoping this will
fix the date functionality as well.

Thanks.
