[AccessD] A2K MDE Runtime Reference problem - URGENT

Jim:

If they can load Access on that machine, you could send them a stripped down
version of the app as an mdb and it should blow dumping them into the code
window. From there you could walk them through displaying the references to
see which one is broken and the do a search on it, copying it to the
expected directory.
