Problem with MS Access 2000 application on Windows Server 2003

[Maurice Mertens]

Hi all,

having some serious troubles with a MS Access 2000 project running on a
Windows 2003 Server environment.

If I compile the project it doesn't produce a compiling-error. Everything
seems to work fine. Creating a .mde file and running it on a Windows Server
2003 produces some serious errors. The project seems to be starting
correctly but opening a form or simply trying to close the application
causes MS Access to crash!

I tried the project on 2 different Windows Server 2003 environments, 1
having MS Access 2000 installed and 1 having only MS Access 2000 Runtime
installed. Both are experiencing the same problems.

The following references are used in the project:
- Visual Basic For Applications
- Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library
- Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.6 Library
- Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
- Microsoft Jet and Replication Objects 2.6 Library
- OLE Automation
- Microsoft Office 9.0 Object Library
- Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.8 for DLL and Security

I tried the following solutions to solve the problem:
* Removing MS Access completely and reinstalling it.
* Compiling and creating a .mde on the Windows 2003 Server which has the
full version of MS Access 2000 installed.
* Using JetComp to repair the database.
* Creating a new MS Access 2000 application and copy all Forms/Modules into
it.

Nothing helped so far..

The same project is running correctly on Windows 98, ME, 2000, 2000 Server
and XP Pro/Home.


Help...

I seem to recall reports of issues running Access under Windows 2003 Server,
but unfortunately don't have any details, nor can I find anything under
MSDN.
