Glad it worked, I have been running Access 2003 SP1 because SP2 (and SP3) would crash every time I tried to compact an ADP or customize a menu in Vista 64. Since the patch KB945674 fixed the problems on my laptop as I mentioned this morning, I decided to try SP3 on my main machine again. SP3 went in and sure enough, I still could not compact or customize menu's again. Then I ran the KB Patch, and lo and behold, I can now compact and customize menu's. So If you have to go to SP3 as I did, for one of my clients I'd sure recommend KB945674.

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

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.

Should I just close my eyes and keep clicking Next?
