Hi,
I've written an extensive database using Access 2003. However, not all users have the same version of Access. The database works absolutely fine with 2007, but with 2010 I get the old 'Your Database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'MSCAL.OCX' version 7.0.' error. This is because I use a calendar control on a form. Then, of course I get the '2683: There is no object in this control.' error when a 2010 user clicks on the control that should launch the calendar.
The problem is what to do about it. I can't simply move to the 2010 datepicker tool, as then my 2003 users will have problems (I'm assuming the dptool is not available in 2003). The missing ref error is also very annoying, and so I can't leave it in!
Why do Microsoft do this?!? Do they really think everyone lives in some fantasy world where everyone seamlessly moves from one version of office to the next all simultaneously? And that we all have the time to re-code our databases...?
Gah.
Would a third party calendar tool be a better idea? If so, does anyone have any good ideas?
Cheers guys!
