Michael's problem is basically the same as I posted a few
weeks back, and others have contacted me about it since. It
appears to leave no error messages, but frankly I've given
up and have no longer been looking.
Some have said that all 3rd party ODBC drivers have had to
be rewritten to co-operate with Access 2000's
implementatation of ODBC, which is hardly brilliant!
I put in a bug report to Microsoft, but so far no response.
