Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
SYMPTOMS
If you add a new reference to a Microsoft Access 7.0 database that has
previously been opened in Microsoft Access 97, when you open the database
again in Microsoft Access 97, you do not see the option to Open or Convert
the database, and the new reference is missing.
This article assumes that you are familiar with Visual Basic for
Applications and with creating Microsoft Access applications using the
programming tools provided with Microsoft Access. For more information
about Visual Basic for Applications, please refer to the "Building
Applications with Microsoft Access 97" manual.
CAUSE
Microsoft Access 97 does not check for new references when you open a
Microsoft Access 7.0 database.
RESOLUTION
To be sure Microsoft Access 97 will allow you to re-enable a version 7.0
database after you add a new reference, you must also modify a module in
the database.
