Question 'officelifeboathang'....does anyone have a solution for this?

[CarysW]

I had problems with my DB a while ago and after MUCH debugging and searching found that this 'officelifeboathang' was an Office 2007 problem with no solution offered from MS.

Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be fixed? I seem to be having this error again when trying to open a large query.

I believe this may be associated with other software like additional toolbars and some minor things like google or skyp.

What if you uninstall other tools does it still hang?

The problem happens in Access 2007, all of the other Office programs on my PC are 2003.

Could a Google toolbar in Firefox really be affecting an MS program?

Honest answer is YES they can. Microsoft works well with other Microsoft products, so FireFox and Google will clash with MS Office.

Have unistalled Google Toolbar, didn't have Skype in the first place.

I've tried opening on a PC running Windows 7 and all Office 2007 programs with much more RAM, and the problem still occurs. So I'm guessing it's something in my DB.

Can you send a stripped down version if your db and I will take a look
