If you completely removed Office per the instructions, reinstalled it, and
are still having problems, then my guess is that you either have a corrupted
registry, or you have a hardware problem (for example, a defective RAM memory
chip or perhaps one or more bad clusters on your hard drive). You can
initiate a check disk operation which should mark any bad clusters to prevent
them from being re-used. If the problem is registry corruption, you might be
time ahead to back up all your data files (something you should be doing
anyway), and then use FDISK to start completely over.

We've had this exact same issue arise on a server in our data center.
It's a 2003 terminal server, and the users run office xp. Over the
past week all of their access databases have begun crashing everytime
you open. They all have forms like the original post describes, and we
can open access, but anytime you do anything with forms it crashes.

I've run a repair on office xp, uninstalled-reinstalled, with no
results. Has there been any luck in resolving this? There are no
hardware issues on this system and all disk/filesystem integrity
checks pass 100%...

Antivirus software? Updates have been known to make Access
performance extremely slow until a new update.

I gotta think about this one a bit.

Well, we actually figured it out this AM. Another software VAR had
gone in and turned off the "Application Experience Service" because of
some issue with their app. It looks like turning this off resulted in
ms access basically dying. The second it was turned back on, all
issues were fixed. odd...

Whoa. Wield one.

Thanks *VERY* much for posting back the resolution.

Hmm, that would be officially known as " Application Experience Lookup
Service "? As in Description of the Application Experience Lookup
Service in Windows Server 2003 SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902196 That makes no sense as to why
that would be causing the problem.

Given that it is new in Windows 2003 Server SP1 I'd expect more
problems when it is running.
