In Access 97, in design view when I try to set field properties I get an error message saying 'can't open MFCANS32.DLL' what does this mean? how do I get it working again?? it never did this before. As a result it wont let me set field properties in design view.

 

I have tried but it wont let me, I get the error message ‘win16 subsystem was unable to enter protected mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your path’ what the hecks that all about??

 

I just tried it in safe mode and its still same oh well ill just have to wait and see what the learndirect bloke says hes ringing 2moro I told them I cant do no more assignment work til its sorted.

 

Ant I had a similar problem with the Win16 subsystem error recently, unfortunately I can't remember the software I was having the problem with. Take a look at this KB article

try entering the line for dosx in your autoexec.nt it did work for me.
