Access crashes

Hi all,

Just wondering if everyone elses MS Access crashes as often as mine.  I am
running it on Vista Home Preminum, using an ADP in Access 2000 file format,
connecting to a SQL Server Express DB in the back end.  I get a crash maybe
once every 2 hours on average... not exactly stable!

The things that seem to cause most of the problems are: Copying forms
(allows the copy but crashes when trying to create the new form), changing
the name of a form (probably a related error) and adding/changing/deleting
text boxes in a sub form.

I have installed the most recent service pack for vista which hasn't made
any difference and as far as I can tell all updates to Access have been
applied.

Does anyone else have the same problem or should I reinstall?

Thanks,

There's a range of suggestions here:

Follow each one of them through, and it should help.

That page was not written from a SQL Server Express perspective, but the
problems you describe sound like they are happening in the front end, not
the back end.

What version of Access?  If A2003 then has SP3 been installed?  If so
what about the Access 2003 SP3 hotfix - Description of the Access 2003
post-Service Pack 3 hotfix package: December 18,
2007.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945674/en-us  Unlike previous
hotfixes you can download this one right from that KB article.
