No, but I think they installed a later version of Access. I duly uninstalled that and reapired (but didn't reinstall which I plan to do today) mine. That didn't sort it.

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.
