Vista not opening up Access 2003 database properly, works on XP/20

Hi,

My new Vista PC is having problems opening an Access 2003 database. I am
accessing this database off of a Windows 2003 server on my network. My
computer is part of my company's domain which has over 100 computers. All of
the other computers in my department, which use Windows XP and Windows 2000,
are able to open up this database with no problems. When I open up the
database from my Vista PC, it gives this error everytime: "The form name
'Server_Form' is misspelled or refers to a form that does not exist" (This
obviously cannot be true since it works fine in XP and 2000.) When I hit
"Ok" the database opens but the tab that the error refers to is empty. This
tab displays information if you view it from a 2000/XP machine.


I already tried:

Opening Access 2003 as admin

Opening Access 2003 in safe mode

Confirmed that I am running the most current version of the Genuine
Advantage control on my laptop.

Have the latest version of Access 2003 (SP3)

Running the MGA Diagnostics tool: it found nothing wrong

I would really appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you!

No. It does not. It does the same thing on another Vista PC too.
