ACC2: Service Pack Installs MSAJU200.DLL in SYSTEM Subdirectory

• Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single- user computers.

When you install the Microsoft Access version 2.0 Service Pack, the MSAJU200.DLL file is copied into the Windows\SYSTEM subdirectory instead of the ACCESS directory as it should be.

RESOLUTION

The MSAJU200.DLL file that is included with the Service Pack contains only a minor modification to correct a text import/export problem. This problem occurs only if you import or export text that contains extended ASCII characters (characters with an ASCII value greater than 128). If you import or export text that contains such characters, copy the newer MSAJU200.DLL file from the Windows\SYSTEM subdirectory to the ACCESS directory. The newer MSAJU200.DLL file is dated 11/20/94, with a size of 98,032 bytes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Access version 2.0 Service Pack. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Access uses the MSAJU200.DLL file for import and export operations. Microsoft Access will first look for this file in the Access directory, and if it finds the file in the ACCESS directory it will use it, regardless of the version number. If Microsoft Access does not find the MSAJU200.DLL file in the Access directory, it will look in the Windows directory, and then the Windows\System subdirectory for the file. This will sometimes cause the older version of the file (dated 4/5/94, with a size of 98,112 bytes) to be found, rather than the newer version installed by the Service Pack.
