Error when open Access2007 based database

Question

Hi

Since few days we unable to open a database which is created in Access2007. The error message produces is

"Your Microsoft Access Database or project contains missing or broken reference to the file "utility mda"

Did try to repair DB, But it did not allowed.Any possible solution to resolve this ?

Answer 1

It's extremely unlike that you actually need utility.mda (IIRC, that was from back in the Access 95 days!)

Hold down the shift key while you're opening the database, then go into the VB Editor. Choose Tools | References from the menu bar. You should find a checked reference to Utility.mda near the top of the list: uncheck it. Once you've done that, select the Compile application on the Debug menu (first choice). If the application compiles, then you should be fine without it.

Answer 2

In the VB Editor, there should be a tree showing all of the classes and modules contained in the application (by default, it's in the upper left-hand corner). Can you right-click on the entry for Utility.mda there and remove it?
