Problem with Access application using Web Browser Control

[Howie]

I have distributed an Access application (still using Access 97) for
over 3 years. In recent weeks we have had error reports from several
new users. The program opens correctly with a splash screen but when
the user clicks 'Check for program updates' a fatal exception error
occurs. This is a fairly simple routine calling the Webbrowser Control
to navigate (invisibly) to a webpage.

Existing users and most new installers are not experiencing this
problem so presumably it arises from MSIE version incompatibity or
perhaps a broken reference.

I am unclear as to what steps to take to get to the bottom of the
problem so it can be corrected. Any advice or help would be most
appreciated.

Check the references from any code window. Choose Tools >>> References, and
find any marked missing.

Some ActiveX controls have had a killbit turned when Microsoft did a
security update. The have new controls to replace them. If that's the case,
you will need to reset your references as well.
