Can anyone suggest likely reasons why an Access2 database programme will not start on a WinNT4 PC but will start OK on any Win95PC?
The fault message is given as Compile Error in the RunCode event of a macro with an Argument of StartUp()
I have looked in the startup() bit, it seems to re-assign some keys and alters toolbars. Could it be this bit that NT doesn't like??
 
You think you have a problem now, wait until you go to Windows 2000 (2k). Windows NT is a 32-bit system. Access 2 (or is 2.2) is 16-bit. There are some inherant problems with that combination and Windows NT4 is supposedly able to handle that difference. It may be that you are missing a Service Pack (1-5 now) that will assist with that. Windows 2k has an even bigger problem with 16-bit applications. The best answer I can give you is to convert the Access 2 database to Access 97 or 2000. Windows 95, by the way, is heavily 16-bit.
