Visual Basic editor crashes in MS ACCESS 2000
Ive have an issue with the visual basic editor crashing MS ACCESS 2000 when I try to type into it. It lets me type about 3 words then it bombs out "msaccess.exe has encountered an error and has to close".
This is the error signature:
AppName: msaccess.exe AppVer: 9.0.0.2719 ModName: vbe6.dll
ModVer: 6.0.84.35 Offset: 000ad365
This is not database specific, happens on all of them, and only on this computer. Other computers can edit the same databases in vb with no problem.
I have reinstalled access (office) completely, tried the REPAIR option, and uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing works.
The workstation is XP Pro SP1. I havent had any issues like this until about 2 weeks ago. It seems to have started out of the blue. I do not recall changing any office related settings.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

Have you installed the latest Office service packs?
are there any applications on this machine that aren't on the rest? Sounds like a dll conflict.

The computers all use the same software and apps. The unit has all service packs and updates for Xp Sp1 and Office 2000 installed.
That version of vbe6.dll isn't the latest version for A2K. Which service packs do you have installed for Office?
ASKER
Sp3 for office and all the updates for it that came after it.
I also have Visual basic 6.0 Professional installed.
I also have Visual basic 6.0 Professional installed.
I had the same thing when i inslled MS Frontpage, i had to do a full reinstall.
ASKER
I did a full reinstall of everything.
You may need to use Eraser2K to completely uninstall Office 2000:

That program looks a bit flakey, it had some specifics about not being tested with Windows XP - have you used it on an XP system? Im not sure I should.

Problem solved!!
Shanesuebsahakarm - I did what you suggested and unregistered and reinstalled vbe6.dll, problem still occurred. No dice.
After some messing around with access, there vb dll error I was getting was in a database I modified from the northwind that comes with access. I wanted to go back and look at some of the code in one of the controls and compare it with what I had. When I tried to create a new database from the wizard, I got another error "ActiveX Component Can't Create Object". I thought somehow this was probably related to the dll error I was getting so I googled the 'object' error and got this page. I was able to fix the dll problem and the object error by reregistering ms DAO, that fixed it. I found a page on the MS website that addressed the issue. What you suggested kind of led me there so I guess the points should be yours.
Here is the page if you are interested:
