If I could reliably package an Access 2003 Run Time I'd upgrade to that but
at the moment I've decided to keep all clients who use an OS earlier than XP
on my old Access 2 program (which still works brilliantly - apart from an
intermittent problem with displaying charts - a known issue when OS is XP)
and only clients who have WinXP or better can upgrade to new AccessXP
version. Reading some of the probs with Access 2003 I decided to stay with
Access XP but as we both realise there are issues here as well.

Not too satisfactory.

Thanks so much for taking the time with this Paul - it's really appreciated.

Regards
Di
