Windows Server 2000 windows 2000 problems

[Alexholliday]

Running a Access 2003 DB from a server running windows server 2000, the Db consistes of a backend (on the server) and the front end(from users computer). It was working fine until the other day then all of a sudden one of the forms would not open, I re introduced the front and back ends and it worked, however it has stopped again and no matter what I do this one form will not open.

It works fine on other computers on the same network, would it be a MS security update which has caused this odd behaviour?

any help greatly received

Could be - Is this a work computer ? If so how are updates managed ? You could check the restore points of the other PC against this one for a hint.

Has anything else changed on this one PC (new software, anti-virus update etc.)

Yep it certainley is a work computer so none of them are the same whatso ever thanks for the hint I'll have a look and see if I can find a correlation

If it's a work computer I would expect all of them to be the same tbh hence my question about how are they managed (or not in this case ), is there not anyone who is responsible for this ?

Allowing automatic updates on work machines is asking for trouble especially if you have network apps/ components (i.e. it not a simple desktop with local apps).

They are managed very badly, I just deliver the software but regretably I'll have to iron out this one to make it work arghhh
