Default Open ACCDE File - Fix Object Library

Is it possible to open a ACCDE database and fix an object library link, or is
it locked forever ?

Thanks

If you created an .accde and didn't keep the .accdb around for future changes,
this will be the LEAST of your problems!

Fix the link in the .accdb and make a new .accde. If you don't have the
..accdb... well, good luck, you'll need it.

Do you mean a reference? No, MDE/ACCDE's are locked down in that
respect and many other respects as well.

Now if you have the MDB available there are things that can be done
such as using late binding or, if possible, using alternatives to
ActiveX controls.

What's the nature of the problem and we can give you some suggestions.
