Need Help Converting Functions

J

John Lane

I am at an account that is in the process of rolling out
Access 2002, and I have run into a problem with various
functions that used to work in Access 97 but now generate
various error messages (permission Denied for one) when
called in Access 2002. Two functions in particular are
FileCopy and Kill. I hunted around on the Knowledge Base
and found article # 294698. It says a group of functions
can be disabled/enabled with the Sandbox Mode on Service
Pack 6 and earlier. Then it goes on to say that a whole
bunch of other functions (FileCopy and Kill among them)
are disabled when called from an expression in a query or
Access property in Service Pack 7 and later. However in my
case and cases I have seen they are called stand alone in
a module. Also, one of the supposedly disabled functions,
Environ, works.
Has anyone run into his problem and if so, what’s the
solution?
