[AccessD] Odd XP machine

If it isn't an MDAC issue or a Jet service pack issue, it sounds like
garbage collection.  I've seen that behavior before and have a wretched
time tracking it down to things like trying to use the value of a
checkbox as an implicit boolean in code.  Good luck.

the "system just closes out" is defined as:

the user will be in her order entry screen either inputting a line item,
or header info, or the main status screen when the system for no
explainable reason closes and there is no error message displayed, "OR"
even logged in event log or anywhere else, its' not a BSOD, or a GPF or
an OS lockup, it's just "now you see it now you don't".

The app is an ADE format, there are no LDB files, When the app dies, it
is not on the task manager, so it's not hung up in the background and
just not redrawn.  The computer seems to run every other applications
just fine w/o fail, it's just this app, and when I run it on her
neighbor's pc who also has a windows xpsp2, it runs fine w/o fail, they
both type about the same words per minute, and fly past the screens at
about the same speed.  If I trade this user to the other pc, the problem
does not surface so it's not her work method.  About the biggest
diffrence is that the user with the problems has a newer dell than the
other user.
