I figured it out. The Microsoft Access Database was missing for some reason. I have reinstalled the database and all is good. Thanks anyway.

How or where do you check to see if the Micorsoft Access Database is missing?

Thanks,

In my first post you will see the images with the error message I was getting when I was trying to open my assembly. After searching the Internet for some of the errors I found that the Access Database was missing or became corrupted somehow. You must first uninstall the Microsoft Access Database and then reinstall. Attached are the images.

Thanks caseys,

Using your prompt, I located the Microsoft Access database engine 2010 (English) & was able to use the repair function (RMB).

Opened .iam and the Error message has gone.
