I have 3 separate clients for whom I have installed an Access database. The
databases have been in use for 5 years in one instance and 3 years for the
other two. They have had no problems until the conversion to Digital TV. All
3 have TV and Internet service from Comcast.

That's not the cause of the problem.

"Database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file
MSCOMCT2.OCX version 2.0. To make it work properly this must be fixed." I
click on help to see about the fix, but I am told to open an existing module
or create a new one and then go to Tools and checkoff the missing reference.

There was a Windows Update which set the kill bit of various OCXs
almost certainly including that one. For more details poke about on
my blog. See the link in my sig at the bottom of my posting.

Now assuming the above OCX is only used for serial port communications
you can replace it with the VB code as found at the first link at the
See the Serial Port Communications page at my web site.

This I cannot do because I cannot get to the Module option as it is in the
Database window which does not open.

Try Ctrl+G which should get you to the VBA editor window so you can
take a look at the references.
