Visual Basic

We have an Access 97 app with some VB 6 code. When we run the app on our NT 4 server it works fine. When we move the app the our Citrix 1.8 server with Terminal Server 4 certain date functions don't work. We are also having some problems with OLE objects.
Is anyone aware of similar problems.

A couple of questions that may help;

Did you install Access in change user/install mode?

Did you configure global settings to the VB code in change user/install?

Are you running the latest Service Pack?

If these don't help, try running Filemon or Regmon from

Good Luck!

We installed Access in "Install mode". The mdb file runs fine installed on a standard NT 4.0 server with the users running their local copy of Access 97. It's running Access 97 from the Citrix box that things get ugly.

Yes - I've installed all manner of wierd and wonderful Access databases that in-house "developers" have written. Fortunately, none have been brave enough to extend them using VB, but all have had nice "issues". Most were rectified by the developers, after I traced the point at which failures occurred.

Usually it was down to a shared (mdb) file not being configured correctly within Access.

If you can get it working using the RDP client, it'll work via the Citrix client.

I hope this helps
