[AccessD] Odd Behavior on one profile on one machine

 The rebuttal: there's nothing in Access that would cause this.  If another
user can log onto that machine and use the same copy of the database, and
there is no internal code in the app to control permissions, then the
problem lies outside the app.

It's been turned over to the network people to reinstall Access as an
attempt to fix it.  I have no idea what would be involved in getting them
to fix a registry problem.  This is a State department, so everyone is
using Windows 7 Pro and Office 2010.  Updates are rolled out by IT and no
admin privileges for users or developers on the individual machines.  I
agree with Jim Dettman that JimB is on to something.  I suspected a profile
issue, but it has to be a local one because he's using a roaming profile on
other machines.  I personally can't do a darn thing about it, but I needed
arguments for when it gets kicked back to the Access team as our problem.

Thanks guys,
