Hi,
[Just a thought...] Perhaps an important registry key and/or subkey has
changed behind the scenes of your process after the upgrade from NT
[unbeknownst to you]. I remember from years ago that NT does not always have
the exact same registry keys and subkeys as Windows. Some of my old VB apps
had to confirm the environment (NT or Windows) during installations in order
to read from the correct registry locations, which MS Office apps might be
doing, as well. So, the Access and Word installations on the upgraded
machine may think that they are still running on NT and calling data from
[now] invalid registry locations. You might want to reinstall those apps on
a non-production machine after upgrading from NT to XP as a test to see if
it all works again.
