GAL Import from Exchange to Access Failing

R

Robert P.

My employer is locked into Access 97 until next years
upgrade rollout.

I've been using KB176702 and the wizard from its
Wzmapi80.exe file to link MS Access 97 to the MS
Exchange/Outlook GAL (Global Address Listing). The GAL
import is quite large, but I still refresh my download
every month or so for queries manipulating workplace
data. Just having this table in Access has been
invaluable to me in my work.

But recently, Access links but can't finish retreiving the
table data. After about 25,450 records (of about 100K), it
breaks and displays a message box with the error, "This
program has performed an illegal operation and will be
shut down." The message detail says, "MSACCESS caused an
invalid page fault in module MSEXCH35.DLL at
0177:03b3e3b0." I can still fully retreive some smaller
lists from the Exchange server. I doubt that that the
breakage is primarily or at least entirely due to the
increasing size of the GAL, because some much smaller
Exchange list imports also fail. I think that there has
been a more fundamental change in the data.

I've submitted a company request and am awaiting a
response, but I don't expect that it will be supported
because few if any employees use MAPI in this "non-
standard" way. Thanks.
