MS Access Forum / Multiuser / Networking / August 2005access 97 and xp pro
Small business with 2 desktops and 2 laptops all running xp pro. Access 97 database runs fine on both desktops, but "add record" feature on forms unavailable when .mdb file is transferred to either laptop. One laptop used to run windows ME and I didn't have this problem then. Does xp pro run access 97 databases differently on desktops and laptops? Would converting the databases to access 2003 help? You've probably got some reference truobles ... 97 used Jet 3.51, XP Pro doesn't install that by default (lots of other apps do, so lots of XP installs have 3.51). Open the db on the laptop, go to the VB Editor (Ctrl + F11) and click Tools - References ... see if any are marked MISSING ... if they are, you'll need to rectify them by insuring that the proper libraries/files are available on the machine. When you say "unavailable", do you mean the item is greyed out? Or do you get an error when you try to run it?

By unavailable I mean that in datasheet view there is no blank next record line waiting to be filled in and the forward arrow has no >* available. Normally this means the underlying recordsource is NOT updateable. Did you check references on the trouble machine? Also, I believe I would use at least Access 2000 format, just so that all dbs use the same engine.
