Any known probs running Access 2000 with win XP?

[Paul]

When I start adding buttons to forms I get all sorts of
problems and the code simply won't run. Initially I was
getting 'Error accessing file. Network or drive error' - I
installed some Office updates and now get a message
telling me that Access had a problem communicating with
the OLE server or AxtiveX Control... any ideas - I can't
bear not being able to execute code (mine or the automatic
stuff)

If you are not using a network, the first error would be this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=304548
It is important to apply the service patches for both Office 2000 and also
for JET 8. You can download both from the Downloads section at
support.microsoft.com

The 2nd error is probably related to references. See:
