Checking the References in an Access Database

This code from the MS site checks the references and can fix broken references – the compile will only work in an mdb version

Function CheckRefs()
   Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset
   Dim x
   Set db = CurrentDb
 
   On Error Resume Next
 
   ' Run the query qryTestRefs you created and trap for an error.
   Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("qryTestRefs", dbOpenDynaset)
 
   ' The if statement below checks for error 3075. If it encounters the
   ' error, it informs the user that it needs to fix the application.
   ' Error 3075 is the following:
   ' "Function isn't available in expressions in query expression..."

   ' Note: This function only checks for the error 3075. If you want it to
   ' check for other errors, you can modify the If statement. To have
   ' it check for any error, you can change it to the following:
   ' If Err.Number <> 0

    If Err.Number = 3075 Then
      MsgBox "This application has detected newer versions " _
             & "of required files on your computer. " _
             & "It may take several minutes to recompile " _
             & "this application."
      Err.Clear
      FixUpRefs
   End If   
 
End Function
 
Sub FixUpRefs()
    Dim loRef As Access.Reference
    Dim intCount As Integer
    Dim intX As Integer
    Dim blnBroke As Boolean
    Dim strPath As String
 
    On Error Resume Next
 
    'Count the number of references in the database
    intCount = Access.References.Count
 
    'Loop through each reference in the database
    'and determine if the reference is broken.
    'If it is broken, remove the Reference and add it back.
    For intX = intCount To 1 Step -1
      Set loRef = Access.References(intX)
      With loRef
        blnBroke = .IsBroken
        If blnBroke = True Or Err <> 0 Then
          strPath = .FullPath
          With Access.References
            .Remove loRef
            .AddFromFile strPath
          End With
        End If
       End With
    Next
 
  Set loRef = Nothing
