TransferSpreadsheet command no longer works in Access97

An Access97 database than has been in use for several years has suddenly developed a problem when running VBA code. The command 'DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet' fails with the error message "3027 - Can't update database or object is read only".

The only thing that has changed is an update on user's PCs of a commercial software package which includes many DLLs and OCXs. I suspect this command is now incompatible with a particular DLL or OCX. I have proved conclusively that prior to this update the command worked okay.

Has anyone come across this problem and a solution please? I'm hoping that a reinstall of Office97 will reinstate the compatible files without messing up the running of the commercial package. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ray.
