This is Strange Behavior

I am working in Access 2K. I have been developing this application since
this version came out.

One of my drop down boxes stopped working and I spent over an hour trying to
figure out why. Never could idenitfy the problem so I created a work around
that just pulled up a form with the info I need and let my people manually
insert the data necessary to pull up the correct vendor for this order.

I sent this revision to all my users. They have their own copy of the mdb
file.

All has been working fine but this morning when I pulled up my app the work
around was not in the application. I have pulled up some other users mdb
file and it is gone from their application also.

We rdp into a windows 2003 SR2 server to run the applicaiton.

Could I have hit the limit on the number of controls or something along
those lines?

The strange part is that it complied properly, worked for about a week, and
then just disappeard from everyones copy?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Sounds like you may need to download all the latest service packs and
hotfixes. That is a fairly common problem.

I'm pretty good with applying updates and hot fixes but except for the auto
updates I have not gone in and checked for anything on the Office side in a
few months. I'll do that and see where it takes me.

Thanks for giving me a direction to go.
