Cannot open access mdb files

When I try and open an Access Database file I get the following message:

"You need Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.00 or better to use this feature.
You can download the latest version of internet explorer from
http://www.microsoft.com."

I am currently already running IE 7.0 and Office XP with Access 2002.
I am running Windows XP.
Also, I have been able to use access with no problems up until now.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...
Thanks, Doug

Looks like your startup triggers something.
Best to keep the SHIFT key pressed when opening the database.
Next open some VBA code (e.g. a module) and check under Tools/References or a library is checked with a name starting with "MISSING"
Remove the check from that line and use Debug/Compile to check or your application will still work.
When there are no errors it will be OK, else check another library that's handling IE.
