Question : Query runs fine for most but not for two people...???

I have a shared Access 2003 database that displays Job History for the employee ID entered.  The database resides on one of our network shares.  Permissions have been set up for all the users in HR.  It's been running fine for years without incident - and still does...except for the two most recent users given access to use this database:  They cannot see any query results when they execute a query that others see just fine.  Can someone please explain why this is happening?  As far as I know, the permissions have been set up identically.  These two individuals are able to run other such shared database queries just fine.  It is only this one Job History database that seems to exhibit this strange behavior.  Could it be the Access installation on their PC would cause this to occur?  I'm unable to offer a solution without understanding how in the world this is happening.  Thanks for anyone out there to whom this has happened before.

Answer : Query runs fine for most but not for two people...???

Over 90% of the time if Access works on one computer but not another, it is missing references or references of the wrong version.  In the Visual Basic Editor check under tools > references for any reference that says "missing".  Fix that.

If you don't have the word "Missing:" on one of the references on the  computer causing the problem, carefully check the date, time and size of every referenced file on the problem computer against the date, time and size on a computer without problems to make sure the versions are the same.  With any that are different, copy the problem computer file to another folder (in case changing it causes other problems) and copy a "good" one to the problem computer.

To avoid that problem try to store all the reference files in the same relative UNC path (such as: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\ADDINS).  Also use an application launcher to deploy the database (my favorite free one is Little Setup Builder http://www.ammasw.com/LSB_Intro.html because it is so quick and easy to use) to make sure the correct referenced files are where they are supposed to be.
