Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.



SYMPTOMS
When you create disk images for your application using the Setup Wizard, and you include a shortcut for a Compact or a Repair And Compact of your database and a shortcut for a Readme or Help file, you may receive an Invalid Page Fault in module Acmsetup.exe because of a Compact command- line switch that is appended to your Readme/Help file command line.



CAUSE
The command line that causes the page fault will be in the following format:   $(FilePath)\readme.txt /compact -or-   $(FilePath) \Help.hlp /compact



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, do one of the following:

In Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools:

On the Add Shortcuts Page, click the General Shortcut Properties tab, click "I would like to specify my own custom command line," and then type $(FilePath)\Readme.txt or $(FilePath)\Help.hlp, depending on the file type, in the Command Line box for both your Readme and your Help file.

In Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit version 7.0:

Select "$"Specify My Own Custom Command Line" from the Command-Line Style section for both your Readme and your Help file. In the command line, type $(FilePath)\Readme.txt or $(FilePath)\Help.hlp, depending on the file type.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) On the ShortCuts screen of the Setup Wizard, click the Add button.
 * 2) On the Database Shortcut Properties tab ( or in the Properties dialog box in the ADT version 7.0), select your database in the File To Open box.
 * 3) Type My Application Compact in the Description box.
 * 4) Click Compact or Repair And Compact on the Database Shortcut Properties tab (or in the Database Shortcut Action in the ADT version 7.0).
 * 5) Click Add.
 * 6) Add either a Help file or a Readme file.
 * 7) Type a description for the file.
 * 8) Leave the default of Use Wizard-Provided Command-Line.

NOTE: In the ODE Setup Wizard, you must click the General Shortcut Properties tab to see the default for the Command line.
 * 1) From the list of Shortcuts, select your application's shortcut.
 * 2) Click the Help or Readme shortcut. Note that the command line of the Help or Readme file has changed to $(FilePath)\readme.txt /compact or $(FilePath) \Help.hlp /compact.
 * 3) Complete the Setup Wizard, and run setup for your custom application. Note that you receive an invalid page fault error.
