Access Error Message: Method 'Connection' of object '_CurrentProject' failed

I am working on a db application in Access for a client and upon testing it, the client encountered the following error:

Microsoft Visual Basic

Run-time error '-214722099 (800401f9)':
Method 'Connection' of object '_CurrentProject' failed

I have never seen this error and it does not occur on any computers that I have tested it on. The client says that he is running Windows 2000 and Office XP. I have tested the db application on Windows98/Office2k and WindowsXP/OfficeXP and never received this message.

I appreciate any help that you can offer. Thanks.

Where's the error occurring? How is he connecting?
A good idea is to make a log of errors. You can use Err.Source, Err.Number, and Err.Description. I've never seen it, either, but knowing the source of it might help.
 
The error is occuring on the first screen of the Access application. This screen is a login screen that I have created to only allow authorized users access to the application. The application is completely self contained within Access.

This error does not occur on all versions of windows and office. Currently, this error has only occured once, in windows 2k/office xp environment. Others have tested the application in windows 98/office 2k and windows xp/office xp environments.

The application is currently being used by a client of mine and I have the design views and VBA code locked so they can not access it. It may require me viewing the error at the client's site and debugging it there.

My main question was if anyone had encountered this error and if so, what solutions they used to eliminate it. I appreciate any help I can recieve on this issue. Once again, thanks.
