    This is the first time I’m posting to this site, any help will be appreciated.

     

    I’ve run in to a show stopper for our conversion.

     

    We are converting from Access 2000\Metaframe 1.8\Windows Server 2000 to

    Access 2007\Metaframe Presentation Manager\Windows Server 2008.

     

    We have a number of mdbs that we are getting the error message:

    “Access failed to evaluate one or more expressions because ‘DoCmd’ was referenced in an expression.  Only functions and properties that are considered to be safe are allowed in expressions when Access runs in sandbox mode.”

     

    I checked the registry key for :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access Connectivity Engine\Engines and the entry was not there.

     

    What was there was:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\MsoExample\A\1033

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\MsoExample\B\1033

     

    Neither of these had any values

     

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\

                                                    XDocs_XMLEditVerbHandler

                This had two values Count = 1 and Order = 1

     

    I added the entry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access Connectivity Engine\Engines\SandboxMode

     

    I tried running with SandboxMode = 2 (sandbox mode is used for non-Access programs, but not for Access), SandboxMode = 0 (sandbox mode disabled at all times) and SandboxMode = 3 (Sandbox mode is used at all times) and SandboxMode = 1 (sandbox mode is used for Access, but not for non-Access programs).

     

    No matter what the setting I still get the “Access failed to evaluate one or more expressions because ‘DoCmd’ was referenced in an expression.  Only functions and properties that are considered to be safe are allowed in expressions when Access runs in sandbox mode.” Errors.

     

    I have no idea where to turn to or what a next step to trouble shooting this would be.

     

    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
