Micorsoft Access has encountered a problem and needs to close (error)

[Cindy H]

Hi

I have an application that I developed in Access 2002 running on Windows XP
I have two PCs, both with Access 2002 and Windows XP.

On one of the PCs, whenever I try to change the code or go into design for
this application, it gives me the following error: "Microsoft Access has
encountered a problem and needs to close."
Says that the error occured in msaccess.exe.

On the other PC, I do not have this problem.

I think this has something to do with the version of msaccess.exe or maybe
the version of the msjet40.dll, as they are different on the two PCs.

Has anyone experienced this problem and know how I can solve it?

Thanks,
Cindy

One obvious answer would be to run Microsoft or Office update to get
the service packs installed on the older system.
