Hi,
I've a program to a customer.
This program is written in VB and use and Access database via DAO.
It runs smoothly in our office (wired lan) and in two of the customer's PCs (wired), but on two others customer's PCs it has a problem, after 5-6 minutes of inactivity, every action that involve the database cause a 3043 network error.
Data are on a local sever,
all of the customers PCs have Win98 with USR PCI wireless card (802.11g),
we've already formatted and reloaded these PCs with no success.
The problem seems related to the wireless connection.
Using the program with no pauses gives no error.

I've seen an article about WZC in Windows XP but there's nothing of the kind in 98.
Could you suggest something to try for this ?
NB, code is not even necessary as we got the error at second operation:
1 - open database
2 - wait 5 minutes
3 - open a table - error (only in wireless)

Thanks in advance for your help and support
Regards
Flaviano

i had similar problemx with linksys wireless router used in bridge mode with win98 clients. problem cropped up after putting latest sp's and patches on win98. problem did not go away until new ROM update for linksys router came out.
good luck.
try updating BIOS in wireless stuff
try other brand wireless access point
try other os to show customer problem is with 98 (kinda)

Make sure that the network card is not set to allow the computer to turn it off for power saving. This simple step is often overlooked as Access is the only app I know that will bomb if this is set to go off.
