Hi
I had problems of this type back around the time
when everyone was updating their systems for W2K.
I have a system which runs on some 500 machines
around the country - we had one group of users (about 200) who all belonged to
the same organisation which used the same OEM version of Office 97 - about 50%
of that group had problems after the Office 97 update was applied - we found
that file date on IDAPI.CFG had been modified by the Office 97 update, but other
things were also changed that we never managed to identify - the end solution
was to rebuild each machine affected. Microsoft couldn't make any suggestions,
even thru my backdoor contacts.
This problem only affected that particular group of
users, and we have had no further problems.
This may be worth looking into if your client has
updated Office 97.

Steve Galyer

Subject: RE: [DUG]: [Q] Windows Update /
BDE
Hi
Donavan,
I've
had a similar problem recently. The application ran fine on my development
machine, my laptop, and 4 brand new machines at my client, but not
on the 5th new machine (same client, similar machine, same
processor etc). It came up with an exception violation, obviously not
telling what the problem was. After a some hard debugging (because on my
development machine it ran fine) I found the problem: I free-ed a
form earlier and updated a Tlabel afterwards. Strangely enough all the other
machines didn't pick this up at run-time except for this one machine. I still
wonder why it worked fine on the other machines.
So,
this may give you an idea to look for.
Cheers,
John
G'Day All,
This is a very strange one. I have
a Paradox / BDE application installed on a client's Win98 machine.
Application works 100%. Client then runs Windows Update and things start
breaking. The application starts up and manages to open the tables that it
does usually. However when applying some filters and doing a query it hangs.
I got the client to re-install the BDE but the problem did not go away.
Tests on other Win 9x boxes show the application to work without a problem.
Can someone give me __any__ suggestions on things I could
try?
TIA
