'--- copy of email ---- It seems that if you are using ADO and compile under Win7 SP1, your application may no longer work on previous Winodws versions :-( <<http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsgeneraldevelopmentissues/thread/3a4ce946-effa-4f77-98a6-34f11c6b5a13>> '---- End copy ----- cheers Darryl. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Doug Steele Sent: Thursday, 31 March 2011 1:59 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] Using ADO and Windows 7 SP1? Be careful! I had a call from a client this morning. Some code that I had written using ADO to write records to a back end, code which has been working for 2 or 3 years, was crashing with a message indicating that ADO wasn't working. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a panic situation and I didn't get a screen dump of the message. I putzed around with the references and re-compiling, and got it to work. Turns out that this is probably an example of a known problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2517589 There is also a discussion (well, a bunch of bitching) about this in the LinkedIn Access Developers group. If I understand it correctly, an Access database using ADO which is compiled on a computer running Windows 7 SP1 will NOT run properly on any other version of Windows. I`m running Win7 SP1 and my client is Win7, so I guess this was the problem. I wonder if I can send an invoice for my debugging time to Microsoft...
