Linked Tables Over A LAN

[Cliff]

Hi, I have a problem with a PC that is sharing an Access database over
a LAN. I'm hoping someone may be able to give me a little advice. By
the way, I'm a bit of an amatuer so go easy on the technical
terminology ;-).

I've got four PCs networked through a router which provides internet
access. Two PCs are running XP Pro and two are running Vista Business
32bit. One Vista machine holds my full database while the other PCs
have a similar database but with tables linked to the first machine.
Been running this setup for several years, on various older PCs, with
no problems.

My problem is this: one new Vista machine does not seem to be able to
access the main database tables while any other machine is running
this Access application. This only happens on the one machine. I've
tried moving the network connections around but the problem stays with
the same machine.

I feel this is probably something simple so feel free to suggest the
obvious.

Any help appriciated, Cliff

I'm not sure this is you issue, so make SURE that you need to apply the hotfix before doing so ... but it sure sounds
like this problem.

Any help appriciated, Cliff

I've got the hot-fix from Microsoft, installed it and all is now
working fine.

Thanks again, Cliff
