SYMPTOMS
When you re-create an offline publication, you may receive the following error message if related database objects have been removed from the publication since it was last created:
CAUSE
If you remove related tables when you re-create an offline publication, Microsoft Access Workflow Designer rechecks dependencies among database objects. If the source object for another database object is missing, the dependencies cannot be verified.
RESOLUTION
Be sure to add the appropriate underlying database objects. If necessary, click the offline publication's Database Objects tab, and click the All database objects in the solution option to add specific database objects. If an underlying database object already appears with a check mark to the left of its name, click to clear the check mark, select the object again to replace the check mark, save the changes, and then re-create the publication.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
