Answer: The program code contains references to objects and libraries that Catalyst needs to function properly. When you first open the Catalyst database, the program checks for missing references and advices you in the form of a dialog box of which component files are missing and how the problem can be corrected. In most cases, installing the correct system files will rectify the problem. Please refer to the Installation instructions for more details. For users with the full version, the references can be checked and modified using the Visual Basic® Editor. The steps required to perform this maintenance are provided below.  

1. Open the Catalyst database by holding down the shift key at the same time you press OK on the login dialog box. This action allows you to bypass the database startup options and use the special Access® keys to open the Visual Basic® (VB) Editor.
2. Open the VB Editor by either selecting View > Code from the Microsoft Access® menu or pressing Alt-F11.
    

3. From the VB Editor, select Tools > References from the menu bar. Missing references will be identified with a “MISSING” tag beside the reference checkbox.

4. Unselect the checkbox beside the missing reference in the References window and click the OK button.
    

5. Reopen the References window and click the Browse button to locate the missing file. The default file paths are included below for your reference. You may find it easier to use Windows Explorer® to perform the search if the file cannot be located in this path.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6\VBE6.DLL
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSWORD9.olb
C:\WINDOWS\System32\stdole2.tlb
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ADO\msado15.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ADO\MSADOX.DLL
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO360.DLL
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6\VBE6EXT.OLB
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSO9.DLL
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSWORD9.OLB
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL9.OLB
C:\Program Files\Catalyst\Catalyst Agent.mde 

6. Click OK to close the References window. Close the VB Editor by using the close button for the window.
