[AccessD] OT: O97 apps freeze Win2K sp4

Jim,
Is it possible you've got an issue with opportunistic locking?
We disabled it on a Win2k server (as advised for Access databases) and
got the same problem with Word and Excel documents, however this was O97
Access runtime and Word/Excel2k....
Let me know if you think it applies and I'll see if I can dig out the
notes on how it was solved.

Yes I don't mind upgrading (which we're planning on doing anyway). But
now we've got to push it up in priority because he's choosing to make an
issue of it.

So can anyone tell me if there is a compatibility problem?  I've never
thought so.

...I can think of a hundred reasons to upgrade from O97 to O2K3 ...but
OS
compatibility isn't one of them :)

> Has anyone encountered any problems with Word freezing on opening when
using O97 on Win2K sp4?  We seem to be having trouble with a couple of
workstations where this is happening.  Word will freeze for 3 or 4
minutes
then startup and run normally.  A second issue with the same users is
when
they save a file the same freeze happens.  All of our users PCs are set
to
save to My Documents folder which is mapped to a network share.  I have
sp4
and do not have any problems at all.  I've also not heard about this
previously.
> Our notwork guys want us to upgrade to O2K3 as result of this sporadic
issue claiming that O97 is not optimized for Win2K and was never meant
to
run on it.  Can there be any truth to that?
