Access 2003 Crashes

[Guest]

I have Access 2003 for all of my development work, and Access 2007 (to learn
in my spare time) installed on a new Vista Busines PC. If I compact and
repair a database, whether pre-existing before the PC or a new database
created on the new PC, Access 2003 crashes. If I close a database leaving
Access open, it crashes most of the time. If I close a database by closing
Access, it crashes often, but not all of the time.

Please, how do I put a full stop to Access 2003 crashing?

Thanks

Hi.

how do I put a full stop to Access 2003 crashing?

Do you have a start up form or an Autoexec macro executing on start up? If
so, is your code compiled beforehand?

If you don't have VBA code in your database application, then ensure that
Access 2003 and 2007 are installed in different directories.

HTH.

Given that A2003 crashes even on a new MDB obviously there is
something wrong with your installation.

I strongly suspect that if you phone Microsoft they will be happy to
help you at no charge on this issue. Although I could be wrong.

BTW are you sending in the crash data? Microsoft really use that
data to fix problems. Microsoft personnel get enough of an earful
from their mothers about crashes.

I have the exact same problem... Access 2003 is crashing. I have
Access 2007 and SQL 2005. It crashes even on a new mdb database. I
thought it might at first been my adp file, but it turns out its
crashing on anything. Especially if I try to do a Compact and
Repair. Even on a file as simple as only have one form with a few
generic controls on it.

Any ideas?
