[AccessD] Removing a missing reference

Rocky,

    If it is a question of merely clearing the check box for each missing reference, skeleton subroutine as given below, is found to do the job.

    Command button named CmdTest is located on a plain form with no other code in its module that is in any way dependant upon any of the likely missing references (This ensures that there is no problem in running the particular subroutine in question).

Best wishes,

Code in test form's module
=======================================
Private Sub CmdTest_Click()
    Dim ref As Reference
    
    For Each ref In Application.References
        If ref.IsBroken = True Then
            MsgBox "Missing Reference: " & ref.Name & _
                        vbCrLf & "Path: " & ref.FullPath & _
                        vbCrLf & "(This Reference has now been removed)"
            References.Remove ref

            ' Statement (A) below gives compile Error
            ' However, the purpose is served 
            ' even if it is kept disabled
            ' RemoveReference = True     (A)
        End If
    Next
End Sub
=======================================

  Are you saying that it finds a reference and can tell it's broken but
  throws an error when you try to remove it? Have you checked to be sure refCurr is not nothing?

  Marty:

  Access.References.Remove refCurr still generates error: -2147319779 -
  Object library not registered.
