Problem getting external data using Access

Hello.
I would appreciate any assistance in finding a solution to this problem.
I am using an access program that connects to an access database. The
program was written using Access 2000. However, the program does not properly
connect to the database, depending on the computer on which it is installed,
or the operating system of the computer on which the program has been
installed.
For example, the connection fails on any computer that uses Windows 98. It
works for the most part on computers using Windows 2000, any version, but it
failed to connect properly on a Toshiba laptop computer that had Windows 2000.
The program opens properly, but the data that should appear from the
database cannot be accessed. The database records are hidden by the program,
and can be viewed when the database is unhidden. Nonetheless, the records
cannot be manipulated by the program.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and suggestions.
Regards,
The Seefahrer
If you have Access program installed on the computer, then use it to
determine if there are any problems with opening the .mdb file that you
want to access. Check for error messages as they provide insight into what
the problem could be.
