[AccessD] Dr Watson Errors on Broadband connection

I have an Access97 database, split FE/BE. The BE resides on a network drive,
and the FE is on the user's local C drive and it is an MDE file that
references a library MDE that is also on the network. All references use the
full UNC path to the files, not mapped drives.

I have a user who has no trouble when he's in the office docked and
connected to the LAN. The database also works fine when he's at a remote
location that has a dedicated T1 line into our LAN.

However, when he tries to access the database, using the exact same
computer, but connected to the LAN via his cable modem and our VPN s/w he
finds that Access crashes, giving a Dr. Watson error before any sign of the
application appears on screen. 

It's one of those "Exception access violation (0xc0000005), Address
0c651503f7" type Dr. Watsons that one typically sees if an MDE application
tries to reference an MDE library that has been modified and recompiled. If
you don't recompile the client MDE you get this type of Dr. Watson.

The only trouble is the library has not been recompiled recently.

Any ideas any one????
