MS Office - Access - DAO 3.6 Object Library

Hi,

I am running Office 365 on Windows 10.

I have created an Access Database and have added a Module.

Then I selected Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library, I received a message "error in loading DLL"

I have uninstalled the 2013 version of Access.

I have repaired Microsoft Office 365 which appeared to uninstall and then reinstall Office 365.

I have created a new database - but the error still occurs.

Could you please advise me what I can do to fix the problem.

Since Access 2007, the DAO library has been superceded with ACE.

Look for:

Microsoft office XX.X access database engine object library

Your code should then run without any changes.
