Linking Pictures in Access 2000

S

I updated Win 98 to XP. Now when I try to find a record
in form view in my database, the first "find" is
successful. Then when I try to "find" another record, I
get a message "(error 3001) invalid argument to perform
routine in a DLL; 1 of arguments is invalid." Also, When
I go to the folder to insert and link my pictures, the
pictures are there and the 1st one will link fine; then
the 2nd time, no pictures show up in the folder. Any
ideas why this works the first time only in both the Find
and Insert commands? I have to exit Access and launch
again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Everything
worked until I upgraded to XP. I reinstalled Access 2000
but still get the error and have the problems.

I have the same problem since upgrading to Win XP.I had an acc2000 db with linked tables using odbc driver
Now when trying to make a new linked table, i get the tables list from the connection with the odbc driver and right after that i get an "invalid argument" error message
Only one table can be created and i noticed that this table (in the source db) is the only one not using indexes
Is there any Win API call that changed to Win XP and so there this problem
It worked with both Access2000 and Access 97 to Win98 and Win 2000.

I have the same problem since upgrading to Win XP
I had an acc97 db with linked tables using odbc driver to an external data base
That was on win 98 system and everything was ok
I had tryed the same with acc97-Win2K, acc97-WinXP, acc2000-Win2K and and everything was still fine
Now i have acc2000-WinXP
When trying to make a new linked table, i get the tables list from the connection with the odbc driver
and right after that i get an "invalid argument" error message
I have installed SR-1 (thank you fro the links) but there still the same problem
It seems that the only compination causing problems (as far as i know) is acc2000-WinXP
Is there any Win API call that changed to Win XP and so there this problem
