I have an odd problem that has managed to stump several IT people. We are on the verge of giving up but I thought I would make an attempt to ask this group if anyone has seen such a problem. I have a fairly complicated form (one-to-many-to-many relationship, Main form with two subform, one subform filters the other subform) and this form has worked for 2 years and still does work on every desktop in our office. However, one employee received a new laptop this week running Windows 2000, Office XP and Access 2000 (the same as all the desktops) and the database opens and it appears that the less complicated forms work fine but this one form which is the main form used will not populate the subforms correctly. It recognizes there are records but it won't show them in the combo box... I have found this http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;208866&Product=acc2000 in the knowledge base that seems to restate the problem exactly. However, I'm looking for a solution that does not involve altering my form since it does work on the desktop computers. Why will it work on a desktop and not a laptop???? I don't have time to alter the database to make it work on this one laptop when 7 other desktop computers run the database fine. I'm wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this and I'm hoping that it's something silly that I overlooked while troubleshooting. I think we have hit all the obvious troubleshooting points like reinstalling MS Office, I took the database off the network and tried to run from the C:/. When it first happened we received an error "Object invalid or no longer set.", that error is not showing up now.
