Over recent weeks a client of mine has been experiencing all sorts of MSAccess problems in applications that have previously been working fine.

These problems have ranged from :
Printing problems to Local ( rather than network ) printers
RunTime error 2486 "You can't carry out this action at the present time"
RunTime Error 2074 "This operation is not supported within transactions"
RunTime Error 3188 "Could not update; Currently locked by another session on this machine"

All the problems occured on Windows 2000 machines.
The app running on WinXP machines continues to work fine.

The Update Rollup 1 for SP4 is causing the problem.

MS themselves have issued a version 2 of this hotfix because the first one caused so many problems.
The second version does not fix my problems though. So I've had to completely uninstall the Rollup 1 for SP4 package and my applications all work fine again.

Beware Americans bearing gifts!
