[AccessD] Problem with Intial Reattach

Wait, are you using an mde front end?   I've had problems changing
attached back ends when using an mde front end.  It seems to be
something like changing references in an mde, not a simple task.  If it
finds the correctly named file in the right location, it plays nicely.
If not, it throws up because it needs to be recompiled with the new
attachment location, and you can't do that in an mde AFAIK.

Hey Bryan
I'd bet a week of Arthur's salary :) that that is the problem.

Well Byran checked with the user and the dev machine, both have the most
current Windows XP and Jet 4 SP updates.  I suggest you donate a week of
Athur's salary  to the list.  Just kidding.

Ran my test with 3 different versions of  the simple Access97  tester,
everything worked fine.

Then created 2 simple Access 2003 mde tester versions 1. App already
linked to the backend folder,  simple main menu and form displaying a
list of one the tables in the backend. Worked fine.
2. Attach table form appears and asks the user to indicate the path to
the backend. User types in the path and the error message appears
"Active X component can't create object".  This app does not have any
Active X controls.

Still looking into a possible subtle SP difference but I think I have
hit a "DLL from hell" problem.
