Thanks for the thought John. Will see what restore points there are.

Hi Andy,
If you do a system restore to a day when the app worked it should restore
any system files that were changed. Worth a try and if it doesn't work you
can undo it.

I am totally at a loss on this.
 
My big Access 97 app (I know, I know, but it works) is crashing on one
machine, a machine it has run on for years. I've tracked it down to API
calls. Any time it calls a Kernel32 API it just exits - no message, no
nothing, just closes. Now it's perfectly possible that central ICT here have
installed or updated something overnight which has interfered, in fact I can
only think that must have happened. Question is, what can I do about it?
 
This is a typical api call which crashes out:
 

Private Declare Function apiGetComputerName Lib "Kernel32" Alias _
"GetComputerNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

 

I know I could use Environ to get the computer name but that's not the
point.
There are lots of similar calls and they're all failing.

Help please.

Andy
