[AccessD] Access 2007 (.mde) in Windows 7 -- Somthing else to Watch Outf For

I'm not sure if this problem existed on Vista Machines, but I just confirmed
45 min ago with a beta tester that has Window 7 64 bit, and he does NOT have
the problem.. So it looks like it may be confined somehow to Windows 7 32
bit only. I don't have any other 64 Bit Windows 7 testers, but everyone (10)
of the 32 bit beta testers had the problem.

It's very strange, and I'm still not sure what to make of it. I am however
glad to be done with it, as it chewed up a considerable about of my time
finding the cause.

There are other issue that I'm dealing with; that only appear to be related
to Windows 7, but I still working through them.

WBR

Ohhhh, that is nasty!  And this only happens on a Windows 7 machine?  We
still don't know that it 
isn't a SP level kind of issue but it is definitely nasty!
