Any of you ever catch this bug: I made a form and decided to copy it. Then I
modified the cloned form. Then I run it and access start saying "Error
accessing file. Network connection may have been lost." Then I tryed to
modify an event procedure and I realized that the correspondig code wasn't
copyed along with the form! Deleting the form didn't solve the problem and a
Compact and Repair Database did everything but reparing it! Actually I'm
really happy I was making backups really often because after this "Repair"
the whole DB become really shit, always with this message "Error accessing
file. Network connection may have been lost." Of course, again, I don't have
any network problem. I wounder what makes a programmer to put error messages
like this, trying to guess and missing the target!!! Oh well, this has been
a long night to finish a project and after having this bug 3 times my
patience gauge is really down. My solution has been going back to a previous
backup and draging the modified objects from the buggy DB to the OK one. And
crossing the fingers to not forget anything.
I'm using A2K and the database was split with database splitter. So if any
of you know how work around this, please let me know. And getting the newst
version whith this bug eventually solved and a few new ones as an extra is
out of question....
Thanks for any clue.

Hi, Raposa.

You, or someone who opened this database application, forgot to install MS
Office 2000 SP-3 after installing one of the MS Office XP or MS Office 2003
applications or Visio 2002 (any application that uses VBA 6.2) on the
computer. And you, or the other person, forgot to compile the code after
importing or copying code from another database application.

Please see this Knowledge Base article concerning a nasty bug:

HTH.

Hi Raposa. I had the same problem when duplicating forms in Access
2000 and someone kindly pointed me to the Microsoft knowledge base
article that has been posted above. This problem and some other
strange ones that Access 2K seems to have, have caused me to steer
clear of it and either use Access 97 or a version later than 2K. I
haven't had the problems since adopting this approach.

Thhhaaaannnnnnkkk you both. It's true I hadn't the SP3. My quick search in
this NG didn't point me to the magic solution. Thanks again.

Sorry to come to this one again. When running the SP3 patch of A2K, I got
this error maessage: "The expected version of the product was not found on
your system." Any idea? Of course it is installed!

Hi Raposa,

Yup, I had the same problems just before Christmas, same error message,
couldn't import or export forms etc. but since running the three Office 2000
service pack updates (in the correct order) problems are all gone (thanks
Wayne)

Hi, Raposa.

Do you already have MS Office 2000 SR-1 or SR-1a installed? If not, it's
required before installing SP-3. However, you should also install SP-2
before SP-3, too, so that you have all of the service packs. SP-2 fixed a
lot of bugs, so you need it, too.

If you've already got the earlier service packs installed, then you may need
to insert your MS Office 2000 CD in the CD-ROM drive, or if it is an
upgrade, the CD from the earlier version of Office that qualifies for the
upgrade.

HTH.
