This article was previously published under Q225942





Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

This article applies only to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb).



SYMPTOMS
If you use the Visual Basic Editor to insert a module into a replica, you may receive the following error message:

Path/File Access Error



CAUSE
You cannot insert a module into a replica. You can insert a module only into the Design Master. The error message does not clearly explain this.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a new, blank database.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Replication, and then click Create Replica.
 * 3) When prompted to close the database, click Yes.
 * 4) When prompted to make a backup copy, click No.

IMPORTANT: Because this is a test database, clicking No is okay in this case. For a production database, however, you should always create a back up copy before proceeding by clicking Yes.
 * 1) Accept the default file name, and then click OK.
 * 2) Click OK when informed that the database has been converted to a replica.
 * 3) Close the Design Master, and then open the replica.
 * 4) Press ALT+F11 to start the Visual Basic Editor.
 * 5) On the Insert menu, click Module. Note that you receive the error message mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
