Hello.
I'm having a problem with an Access 2000 database
I recently replaced a client's haggard, 6-year old Windows
98 system with a brand new Windows XP machine. One of the
applications that was being used on the old machine was
Access 2000 (the database being accessed was located
on the company server, not the local machine).
When I set up the new computer and re-installed
Access 2000, I exactly re-created the desktop shortcut to
the existing database, and it launched without displaying
any error dialogs.
However, it turns out that the database has a number of
custom reports, most if not all of which now no longer
work, and display "#Error" all over the place in place of
the data and tables that should be there.
If you access the database using the old machine,
everything is OK.
I checked the references and a number of other settings on
the old and new machines. As far as I can tell, the
settings are identical, but I don't know enough about
Access to know what else to check.
Any ideas or information will be greatly appreciated. Many
thanks.
Regards,
Joe
