[AccessD] Win2K, Access 2002 SP2

I have SP2 installed and don't get that message on either Win2k or
WinXP.  What Jet service pack is applied?

I just wanted to give a heads up - I have a client that is using Office
2002.  He is getting the JET error "the operation was halted because you
and another user...".  This error only occurs on machines that have SP2
applied (2 out of 5) whereas those with SP1 (3 of 5) don't get the
error.  The error occurs as the data is being saved into the table,
after AfterUpdate.  Oddly enough the data did go in to the table.

Nothing obvious, compacted / repaired the BE and FE using the built-in
compact etc.  The standalone compact/repair program failed early on
(immediately).

I do not know for sure that it is a SP issue, however those that had SP1
worked, those with SP2 failed.  Since I only have 5 machines it isn't a
done deal that this is the issue.  On the other hand I was loath to
break a functioning machine by applying the SP2 to one of those that
worked to see if it broke.

I did try uninstalling, then reinstalling and applying only SP1.  The
machine still failed.  Likewise not conclusive evidence since uninstall
leaves trash behind.
