[AccessD] Cannot set References in Access 97

Hello All,

As you may have noticed from previous emails related to ADO etc, I am
have a fine ol' time with an old friend Access 97.

Having offered the suggestion of moving to ADO and rolling it our
across 300 pc's!, and having taken your good advice (thanks again),
they assigned me the task.

Anyway, I have done a little research and cannot wait to start calling
sprocs in Oracle 8i and passing parameters in and out using ADO and
Access 97.

Only one problem, on my PC, (the one that I am using in the clients
office anyway), Access 97 with the latest sp and jet etc, will not let
me set references.  It crashes everytime I click Ok after choosing a
dll to reference.  It is not just ADO, in fact it happens with almost
all dlls in the list.

I have tried it with new and existing db, btw.

Now of course I can do some obvious things like use another PC or
format my pc or a lot of other heavy handed things, but I am consious
of the fact that any difficulties I experience may be experienced by
the other 300 - 400 users of the Access app.

So, have you guys ever had any difficulties setting references in
Access 97?  or related information.

Thanks as usual in advance for your time
