Since you say both have Office 2003 SP3, I'm going to assume that isn't the
problem here, otherwise that would be my first reaction.

Just a wild guess, but do you have Office 2007 Compatibility Pack installed
on your Desktop but not the Laptop? (Forms 12 versus 11 makes me suspect
that possibility.)

I've had issues with the O2007 Compatibility pack automatically "updating"
library references (MSO.dll, Office library versions 12 & 11 specifically)
so that when a working mdb is copyed from a machine with O2007Compatibilty
to a machine without, it fails to work (with errors similar to yours) when
it stumbles over the reference to a "future" version.

Solutions: uninstall O2007Compatibility on source/development machine and
recompile, copy, distribute
               or
               make sure all recipients have O2007Compatibility installed
