[AccessD] Shared Databases (AXP)

Actually, I saw exactly that behavior once when different 97 machines
had different Jet service packs installed.  The latest service pack
allowed them to see the subforms, but the earlier versions got a white
square where the subform should be.

I haven't seen a reply on this, so I'll chime in...  You mentioned that 
you converted the "Shared" front-end to AXP, but how are the A97 
workstations able to use it?

If you upgrade the BE to AXP, then your A97 users will not be able to 
connect anymore, as A97 is Jet 3, not  Jet 4..  Try copying the FE to 
every Workstation so they are not shared...  in respect of course (ie, 
AXP gets the AXP copy, A2k get A2k, and A97 gets A97).
