[AccessD] Code Not Working in XP

Ok, I have been playing around on Microsoft site today. It looks like the
problem may be the rundll32.exe in the fHandleFile code. I haven't figured
out why yet or what would need to be changed to correct this.

Any ideas?

Do you know what needed to be changed with the permissions? I talked to IT
about the problem and they do not know what I am talking about. They said
they need specifics. I do not know enough about XP or how they have the
permissions set up to give them an answer.

Maybe something with the permission settings on the XP boxes.  Had something
similar that worked great with 98 & did the same thing as yours when
switching to XP until some permissions were set to allow them access to the
shared resources.

I have been using the code shown below to access data on our Intranet. The
code matches a field entry in the database and looks up the details. In this
example it finds a stock number.
 
Problem: The code does not work for users that are running XP. It does not
do anything, it will not even try to access the web. They click the button
and nothing happens.
 
What can I do to correct this for users of XP?
