We have a database that opens and can run all the needed querys and look at all the linked tables when it is ran on a Windows 98 machine. When we try to open the same database using a Windows 2000 machine Access just shuts down. I have a machine that dual boots both Win 98 and Win2K and under 98 it runs fine but 2000 just sucks. I have applied all the office service packs and tried to update the odbc drivers but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any Ideas on what I can do to fix this.

I didn't face any problem like this before .

willyb,
I don't remember why, but Access97 not working well in Win2k is what prompted my purchase of MSOff2k. I know that since then there has been a compatability update
Otherwise, there are user level problems
These aren't your specific problem, but mebbe putting users at admin level to test whether user levels are an issue?

Roamer1 thanks for the reply but the different machines this has been tried on vary from no Windows 2000 service packs to #3 and the results are the same.
Netwalker1 Thanks to you as well, but we can't justify to the powers that be upgrading to Access 2000 for the whole company. We run an older version of SBT, our accounting management software and much of what we do will not run with Access 2000.
We have also tried to copy the entire database and have run repair on it as well. Still no luck. If anyone has another suggestion please let me know.
Thanks Will
