Vista Tutorial - Problems with Access 2002 (XP) After Installing Update

I just purchased a new Dell Notebook with Windows Vista Ultimate preloaded
and am having problems using Microsoft Access at work. We have a simple
peer-to-peer network with Access hosted on one of the computers. The rest of
the work stations have front end databases that pull data from this one back
end file. Everything was created using Access '97. I realize that Vista
doesn't fully support Access '97 and upgraded to Access 2002 (also called XP
I believe). Everything is working great until I installed a recommended
update, either Security Update for CAPICOM or Office XP Service Pack 3 (the
likely culprit). After installing these updates Access crashes everytime I
load our customer form. I can open other forms without a problem but for
some reason this form crashes the entire program. Anyone have any ideas?

Opt 1...Use restore, before update.
Set update to download not install, when notified down load complete ,
install updates individually to see which one create the fault you mention.
Restore, download then only install update which is OK.
Opt.2.....Search MS KB,s for a solution.
Most probably do Opt.2. - First- -

update, instal individually to see which one causes fault.
