Fix for “Your database contains a missing broken reference vbe6ext.olb”

This error may occur if you uninstall Microsoft OneNote 2013 from your computer. (You might have done this when you discovered it’s not as ‘free’ as their website claimed.)

Here’s a working solution using Excel, although Access can probably do it too…

1. Close excel program.

2. find the file vbe6ext.olb in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6

3. rename the file to vbe6ext.OLD

4. open excel program and go to “developper menu”, if you don’t have this menu, right click in the ribbon menu, “customize the ribbon” and check “developper” at right list

5. click on “visual basic” to open it

6. a pop up window comes to ask if you want repair the programme, clic yes

7. leave running the repair

8. close excel and reopen it…

that’s it!

These instructions are from https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/40593 – where there is also a registry entry you can try.

Microsoft’s advice to re-register the file VBE6EXT.OLB does not work.
