Microsoft Access 2003 - License Information for This Component Not Found

[Hank07]

I've deployed an upgraded Microsoft Access 2003 application onto my clients’ computers and one of the users is unable to run it due to the following information message:

"license information for this component not found. You do not have an
appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment"

No other users are having this problem so it appears to be unique
to this users pc. Note this application is split between a back end mde file (I.e. data objects) located on a server and front end mde file (application objects) located in a shared folder on each users pc.

This user appears to have the same version of Access 2003 (e.g. SP2)
installed as his colleagues.

Any ideas on what may be causing this issue and what I can do to fix it?

Is he trying to edit a table? Usually that's due to a dll not being registered.
Maybe MDAC needs to be updated.

Dave,


This error occurs immediately after the user logs in to the application. So they are not updating any tables. However a macro is automatically run when the user logs in to check if the users password has expired (i.e. a table is queried for this check).

What is MDAC and how do you update it?

Thanks,

Jeff
