At work we have a pretty old database system that runs on Access 97. Every pc here except mine runs Windows XP and does not have a problem with Access 97 or the database.
I can run Access 97 fine on Windows XP mode under Windows 7, however i randomly get a "disk or network error" which does not allow me to open certain databases, others will still work fine when a particular database is giving this error.
I'm just stumped as to what causes it, sometimes it can be fine for days at a time, other times ill randomly get this error for hours each day before it decides to work again.
The network connection is fine as other databases on the server can still be accessed, and when ever i get this error the database always works on a PC running Windows XP nativity.
I realise this is pretty old software, however if anyone has any suggestions as what could be causing the problem it would be a great help!
