Installed updates, now macros don't work!

[Guest]

I have a Windows 2000 server that holds an Access 2002 database. Users used
to be able to open this database through Terminal Services when necessary,
but every since I installed Windows and Office updates toward the end of
June, the database gives the following error when opened:

Action Failed
Macro Name: AutoExec
Condition: True
Action Name: RunCode
Arguments: Startup ()

And the only action I can take is to Halt. Then the database does not work.
How can I either roll back the updates I installed or modify a setting to
allow that macro to run? I thought that in the Tools > Macro menu there was
a Security option, but there isn't one.
Thanks,

Hi, Nik.

How can I either roll back the updates I installed or modify a setting to
allow that macro to run?

Why not just fix the problem that is causing the macro to fail to execute?
Find the Startup( ) function in a VBA code module (press <ALT><F11> to open
the VB Editor, and then use the binoculars "search" in the menu) and set a
breakpoint on the first line of this function, then execute the Autoexec
macro so that you step through each line of the Startup( ) function.

Well I don't think there's anything actually wrong with the code because it
works fine in Access 2003 on other machines. But I am stepping through it
now.

When I go into the script editor on the problem computer, it obviously
provides an error when I run the macro. But when I do the same thing on a
Windows XP/Access 2003 computer, I don't receive any errors at all. I'm not
sure I want to just change something on one computer, do I? Is this still
the best way to do it, even though nothing's changed in the database since
well before I applied the updates?

Thanks,

What error message is the VB Editor giving you? "Data member not found"? I
probably should have asked you to compile the code before attempting to step
through the code execution.

Depends upon what the problem is. If it's a compile error due to a missing
reference, then adding that reference to this file and recompiling is
usually acceptable. Deleting database objects is not.
