[AccessD] corrupted database

Would you look please.

I am using Office 2K and Office XP.  Outlook is 2K, simply because the
initial version of XP has all the security crap which prevents seeing some
attachments.  I am an adult and can decide for myself what attachments I
wish to see, not to mention the fact that I run NAV which scans all
attachments before it ever hits my mailbox.

So I installed XP but not outlook XP, and I have A2K sitting at SR1a.  So it
appears that I have the problem still.  I will not be upgrading O2K to SP3
so I pretty much need the patch.

It used to be available upon request to MS, but they discontinued that
when SR-3 was released.  But if you're using OXP, what difference do the
O2k security patches make to you?  They won't be installed anyhow unless
you're still using O2k.  If you ARE still using O2k, you've got a
problem.  I might have a download of the patch floating around
somewhere, but I may have ditched it after installing SR-3.

Is the patch for this specific problem available separately?  I hate the
SP2 and beyond security crap for Outlook.

John,

It's the latest Service Release for O2k you need installed, and that's
SR-3.  The patches are not in the OXP service packs because it's A2k
that has to be patched, not AXP.

As we all know, there is an issue where having A2K and AXP installed on
the computer at the same time, then using A2K can, in some instances,
corrupt the database.  It has to do with a VBA.dll being installed by
AXP that is not correct for A2K's use.

It was my understanding (based on messages from list members) that if
you had the latest service packs applied to AXP, the problem went away.
AFAIK I have the latest SP applied to officeXP (SP2.X).  Today I was
operating in A2K and tried to import forms from another database and got
the corruption. It hosed the db.  I was able to get where I needed to go
by:

Deleting the imported forms / reports from the corrupted db. Creating a
new database using AXP Using XP, importing all the objects from the
corrupted database. Using XP, importing the forms from the second db
that caused the corruption when imported using A2K

So... is the bug still there?  I have to assume it is!
