Reference Library - Microsoft Access / VBA

I have a database that references a particular type library from my C drive (PhotoShare from Yahoo Messenger). The database is actually housed on a network drive so the library reference is missing when other users try to use the database. I thought I could just copy the library to the network drive and change the path on the reference but I can't seem to get it to work.

How do I solve the issue?

What kind of errors are you getting from the app when it is attempted from the network drive?

Are you 100% sure the path is correct in your reference? Make sure you are not using a letter drive, because any user can map thier drives how they like.

For example your S:\ drive could be someone else's X:\

Use absolute paths, \\DriveName\DriveFolder\, etc

Other then that I guess I would need to know more about what kind of errors you are seeing when it doesnt work on the network side.

The other users are getting missing link errors for the libary when they open it because the libraries are referencing the C drive. Just becuase I have something on my C drive doesn't necessarily mean they have it on their machine. That is why I tried to move the library to the X drive which is mapped the same on everyone's machine since it handled by the network logon script. The problem is that I can't get the reference in the reference list to point to the X drive instance and not the C drive instance.

I can't easily test this Sherry, but try the following :

Open the db on your PC.
Uncheck the reference for that particular library.
Move the file on the C: drive to X:\... (ensure it's no longer accessible from C:\...).
Close the db.
Re-open db and go to References.
Use the "Browse" button to search for the library on X:\...
Ensure it's selected.
Compile your project.
