How come Access database not compatible on different computers?

Hi, I copied an access database to another computer running the same windows
2000 and MS Office 2000 installed (the language set of these two MS Office
2000 is different, one is in PRC Chinese, the other is in Taiwan Chinese),
However, most of the forms cannot run any events, the error message
(translated from Chinese) is something like:
"MS Access's on load event cannot communicate with OLE server or ActiveX
control."

At least one form seems exceptional, it can run any events, but I cannot
find any special of the form. I checked the references, there is no
"missing" reference.

Anyone has similar experience? Anyone can help?

Thanks!
 
you should try to get into the modules in order to make sure that

a) it debugs - you might have a broken reference
b) you have the same security under tools, macros, security on both
machines
 
Hi gz,

Yes, I have run into the same problem, when I volunteered to help another
person I met on this newsgroup with a database problem. His database was
created with the Turkish version of Access, and I use the version sold in the
United States.

The answer that I was told by Michael Kaplan is to add the appropriate
language in the Control Panel Regional Options. Then set this language as the
default for the time that you are working on this database. I haven't
actually gotten around to trying out his advice yet, but I'm sure he knows
what he's talking about, since he works for Microsoft, and is a former member
of the Access development team.

Good Luck,

Tom
