If this an XP machine just make sure you do a snapshot before doing it.  You
can roll it back if it fails.

Okaayyyy...here goes... 

I suppose the worst that could happen is that I uninstall Office, reinstall,
& do SP3.

Rocky,

One of my clients IT departments upgraded all their machines to SP3,
unfortunately for me, about the same time I sent new release of my software.

Several days after I shipped it I got a call that every time the technician
tried to save his work-order it marked it as complete and closed it. Not
what it is supposed to do.

I could not duplicate the problem, but remembered reading about a bit
problem with ADP's and SQL server and SP3. So I upgraded my laptop to SP3
and lo and behold I could duplicate the problem.

I tried Hotfix KB945674 and it corrected the problem.

Like you I thought the way the hot fix worked was strange but it worked. I
think what it does is install Access 2003 Runtime, that would upgrade
MSAccess.exe  and I guess a few other DLL's.

Who cares, it works, so click away.


Bill

Gustav:

I downloaded and started to run it - looks like it's doing a complete
reinstall  of Office - so I got a little gun-shy.  Should I just close my
eyes and keep clicking Next?

Rocky
