Errors in Access after installation of Office SP3

[MikeBromley]

I have jsut installed Office 2003 SP3 and have noticed that my application
written in Access 2003 behaves diferently and doesn't always display fields
which have values.
I did not see this documented as an after-effect in the SP3 installion and
Knowledge Base article. Worse yet, you cannot uninstall SP3!!!!!!! You have
to uninstall Office 2003 and reinstall it and all the KBs except SP3!
Anybody know a fix for this???

Hi Mike,

I've noticed that Ken Snell has provided a workaround for this issue on your posting to the MS Office Access discussion group. This
appears to be an issue from SP3 that has been reported to the MS folks (text field with bound control and format property set in a
table)

Yes, Bob, that has helped some people. However, if your app is distributed
as an .mde file to many users, you must re-install it to all users after
making the code change suggested. Since uninstalling Office 2003 SP3 is not
possible, I simply restored my user's computers to a Restore POint prior to
that SP3 update and that solved my problem for now.
