[AccessD] Access97 on W2000 crashes

an API call in a module could have any effect on this

No, it cannot. That would be a nightmare miracle if it could have such side
effect...  (I assume you don't have other API calls, which may unwillingly
change not only data but also the code and by thus result in calling other
API functions, which result in GPF. FYI: API functions' entry points are
written in a special area of loaded DLLs and this area isn't protected and
can be modified on runtime...)

Yes, you're safe. But be sure you don't miss any routines called by
indirectly fired events....
