Error when copying record (Access 97 on W2K or XP)

We have an Access 97 application that is used by the general public.
Customers who have either the Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating
system have reported that when pressing the 'Copy' button (within the
application), the machine throws an error (a memory address error,
effectively a GPF of old), then closes.

The 'Copy' button basically duplicates a record in one table, then
another record in a second table, then a varying number of records
(detail lines) in a third. When stepping through the code, it's hard
to tell exactly where the error is happening, because the act of
stepping through code is causing errors, but I think it's around step
3.

I have put the latest patch on Windows 2000, but this doesn't seem to
help. I've reinstalled Acess 97 (both with and without first removing
the DAO folder, as per Microsoft Knowledgebase). Is there no simple
way to get this to work??
