I have a database in Access 2000 (using DAO & OS is Windows 2000) that has
been working fine for several months.  The last time I used it was Dec 29,
2005.  I just opened it this morning (jan 22, 2006) and am having major
problems.  When I try to open certain forms or reports, I get a run time
error -:
    Run Time Error '429'  ActiveX component can't create object.
If I select debug, the debugger highlights VBA instructions for recordsets.  
Some examples are:
        set recClone = Me.RecordsetClone
        set db = Currentdb
        If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount = 0 Then

  Something seems to have happened to the Office installation since If I
copy the database to another computer, all is fine.
  Between Dec 29th and today I have installed the following software:
         PowerDVD
         Adobe Reader 7
         Nero 6
         ADS DVD Express (analog video/audio capture device - USB) drivers
and software

   Also, I have updated the firmware on my DVD burner.  It appears that
somehow one of the Access or Office components was 'corrupted' by one of
these updates.
   Any ideas? Or should I try Uninstalling & reinstalling Office 2000 & the
updates?
