Problem : missing AddIn reference BFAddin.mda

A macro I’ve been successfully running for a while now suddenly encountered an error last night. I have a macro that runs several modules containing VB scripts. This morning I awoke to a Compile Error “Can’t find project or library”. I clicked References and there is a refernce shown as MISSING. It’s called BFAddin.mda. Strangely, it says the location of this is in a directory on a completely different user’s directory. Either way, I didn’t delete any refernce libraries, and certainly not this file.

I rebooted and I still get the same error. This seems to be coming out of nowhere. I am attaching a snippet, although I don’t think this error is related to the code. I have several other scripts that are failing for this same new reason. These scripts have been running smoothly for months.

Solution : missing AddIn reference BFAddin.mda

>The file seems totally unrelated to the database I’ve been using,
Just a thought, does that .mda’s code actually get used in your app. (i.e. was somebody just playing around?)
In Tools:Reference, just uncheck the reference to it, and run the app, and see if anything blows up.

>Why would the absence of a file on another user’s machine affect a database I’m running from my own?
Because the first thing Access does when it loads is check its references.
