SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, when you use the Access Links add-in, your computer may
appear to stop responding (hang) when the add-in switches from Microsoft
Excel to Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.
MORE INFORMATION
The Access Links add-in installs the Access Form, Access Report, and
Convert To Access commands to the Data menu in Microsoft Excel version 7.0.
When you choose one of these commands, the add-in starts Microsoft Access,
then calls the appropriate wizard in Microsoft Access to complete the
chosen task. During this transition to Microsoft Access, the insertion
point is set to normal pointer mode. The transition to Microsoft Access and
the performance of the Microsoft Access wizards is extremely slow. Because
no message box appears, and because the insertion point is not set to a
wait condition or changed to an hourglass, the computer may appear to hang.
It may take several seconds for the wizard to be initialized and for the
task to be completed.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
