Darren, I didn't read far enough down in your original post. I'd still double check the reference stuff, but I don't think that will be the problem from the sound of what you said. Instead, look more towards the Access install itself. Make sure your up to date on service packs; Office, JET, and MDAC. Also do a quick check for disk errors and sufficient disk space. There is nothing really in Access per say that is OS specific. Code that runs under one should run under another. Problems under one OS and not another is some type of an environment problem either in .DLLs installed or registry entries. Jim Dettman President, Online Computer Services of WNY, Inc.

All machines are WIN 98 and WIN2000 and WIN XP boxes (No Win 95 or Win ME) all running Office 2000 In fact the Office 2000 install is off the same MS Office 2000 install disk - <sigh> But the code snips fails only on the Win 98 machines Anyway here is the snip that fails in WIN 98 - but is cool in WIN2000 and WINXP strSkinsPath = Left(CurrentDb.Name, Len(CurrentDb.Name) - Len(Dir(CurrentDb.Name)) - 1) & "\Skins\" & strSelectedSkin & "\" But of course the "hard coded" following snip below in place of the one above does work on all OS's strSkinsPath = "C:\Program Files\TruMan\Skins\" & strSelectedSkin & "\" Also I am getting failures with the bookmark property in the Win 98 boxes. Same Access/Office version just different OS Basically I have a combo box on a student form to use for a search tool. You pick a student name from the combo on the footer of the Student Form Then using .findfirst and .bookmark I can (normally) go to the record. But it fails on the Win98 boxes and throws me out of the app and on occasion needs a re-boot. So to that end - does anyone have any .findfirst and .bookmark code that works with a WIN 98 box? Even code to determine .AbsolutePosition would be fine. I can then use docmd.gotorecord stuff Many thanks in advance Darren -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
