"Can't find the wizard" error in Access

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions for this error...

Everything on my db was working fine (famous last words, I know).
And all of a sudden yesterday I started having an error regarding
Wizards.

It happens a couple of times.
First, when I attempted to use an add-in I have called Find and
Replace, I got an error message with the red 'X' saying "can't find the
wizard, or the wizard has not been installed, or there is a syntax
error in the Declarations section of a Visual Basic module". It goes
on to say something about the libraries key in my windows registry, and
more. I thought it was an error with the add-in, but then I got an
error while editing a form and attempting to click on the ellipsis
(...) on a control's field name. This gave me a similar error, saying
"can't start the wizard, builder, or add-in".

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, and everything was working
fine just the other day.

It compiles cleanly (didn't at first, but after a few tweaks, now
does). I have the most recent version of Jet sql. (these are two
things mentioned in various forums). If I go back to various older
versions of my db, it still happens, so I'm wondering if it's a problem
with my Access rather than with my database.

Any suggestions? This is baffling me, and I hope it isn't too bad of a
scenario.

Thanks,
Lori

Try doing a /DECOMPILE on it before recompiling /REPAIR /COMPACT is never
out of the way either

JUST re-installed my add-in, on the suggestion of the developer, and
now everything works ok. Phew. Turns out the other problem I was
having was related to the add-in as well.

Thanks for the help...it's good to know about decompile, too, for the
future (developer suggested that as well).

Not sure what you meant about being thankful, but I certainly am, NOW.

Regards,
Lori
