Application issues Post KB972270 Security Update

[Mr. G]

Hello all,

I have an application (Access DB app) hosted on cleint computer logged in to
domain. Logged in user has adminsitrative privledges. Post the KB972270
Security update for Win 2003 server, the application is not fucntioning
properly. DEvelopers threw the ball to me saying its a security issue thats
preventing the app from executing properly. I've re-checked user and
computer security settings and everything looks to be in order. I know this
posting is a little vague but does nay one have any ideas?

application is not fucntioning properly

In what way?

 

[Mr. G]

I'm getting a subscript out of range error

In what way?

If you want more helpful advice, post the code that is generating the error.
It's hard to see from here.

That does not sound like the result of a security update. Does your
application compile successfully? If not, maybe check the vba references.
Otherwise, debugging the code sounds like the best approach.

Mr. G:

A subscript out of range error sounds to me like an error associated with
using an array variable. I agree with Paul that it does not sound like the
result of a security update.

One way to attract this error is to have a zero-based array, with say 5
elements. If you try to do something like this:

X = varArray(5)

you will have stepped over the upper bound, thus generating a subscript out
of range error. The reason is that a zero-based array with 5 elements would
have valid elements at: varArray(0), varArray(1), varArray(2), varArray(3),
and varArray(4), for a total of five elements.
