Been trying to work it out all day. Two minutes with this and it was solved.

G’day John, I’m glad I was able to help.

Yes, I should have pointed out that my environment was also a thin client, and both users were sharing the same server.

Thankyou very much for this tip. I was pulling my hair out over this one.
We have a thin client environment and the same errors when users try to run the Wizards in MS Access. Had been working fine until recently, I followed your steps and it solved the problem.

Ashleigh: Great idea. I’m going to load them on to that usb thingy on my keyring right now.

Hi Mike

Those utilities from Sysinternals (now Microsoft) are a godsend, I’ve used FileMon, RegMon, PortMon and others, many times to try and figure out what’s going on when wierd things happen.

These days I just have the set I commonly might need downloaded and ready to go, at home, at work, and anywhere else I have to futz about with somebodies PC.

And all free!

A good bit of detective work you’ve done there.

Dugie: I bet you’ve used FileMon a few times.

Dave: It was all over in a couple of hours. It was my client who was the expert on FileMon but I’ve learnt how useful it can be.

Nice work Mike! That would have taken me a year to work out. (maybe it took you that long too, you didn’t say )
