Access problems, or how to make a working database work properly!

Hi people!
I am new to access - just 1 month or so- and I have made a small database step-by-step. I use Win XP sp2 and Office 2002. A few days ago I decided to format the C partition devide it in 2 other logical partitions in order to keep windows in one and program files in the other. The reason is to try keep windows more stable with less entries in the drive and faster recovery after the next format ( Of course I can use your opinion on this too!).
Anyway I found out that the buttons I have designed in the access forms were creating an error: Missing reference to Cal3aS.dll- wrong version, bla,bla, try to change it ! And then the debugger was pointing to the button_click subroutine. Even when I redisigned the button the problem was the same.
Is it a trivial problem?
What does it mean and how I can fix it?
Since I am novice on this area , I am open to any suggestion, so don't take advantage of this!
Thanks in advance,
D.
 
You may have to re-install the Office applications to set up the proper pointers for the required supporting DLLs.

I suspect that you copied the directory(s), but the registery entries still point to the previous drive.
 
News regarding the above instructions:
1. Before I start uninstalling Office, I have to say that I have allready formated my PC and reinstall everything from the beggining. So, there is no leftover in the registry.
2. I worked the problem around. Instead of autogenerate the code for the button ( It is instructed to open a second form), I did a macro build to open the form. Ofcourse now it works, but the problem still remains.

Should I locate the Cal3aS.dll and copy it in the C:\windows file? What is this file anway?
I also have to add that I can't insert an auto calender that Access provide, and several other activeXs'. I also have to add that I work in a greek interface, but untill now I had no problems with it!

Any good ideas? The thing with the registry was a good one but after the format I don't thing it holds water...
Thanks guys !
D.
