I think I'm going to have to live with it -- it's not so awful "having" to use Access2003 -- and just work on my laptop when I really need to be in 2000. And I think the only time I have to be in 2000 is when I'm making an .mde file to distribute. More than anything, it's annoying that, seemingly "out of the blue", 2000 stopped working on one computer, while it continues to work fine on the other. I wish I could figure out what happened.

Perhaps a wipe the hard drive and reload Windows is called for since that was a critical application for you. Or maybe you would be able to use a Virtual PC type of a setup?

Happens if I open an existing database or try to open a new database. If I try to open a new database using a wizard/template, it creates the new database, but then crashes when it goes to open the first form. > > > Carolyn Johnson > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Gary Kjos > To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving > Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 9:06 AM > Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access2000 crashing > > > This link is about a slightly different version - XP but it sounds > like similar problem.
