117609 ACC2: Paradox Password Protection Bypassed by Multiple Users

When you attach a password-protected Paradox table nonexclusively to a Microsoft Access version 2.0 database, the table behaves normally, allowing you to view the table's contents after you supply the correct password.

117610 ACC2: GPF Closing Data Outline Control Properties Box

When you add a data outline control to a form or report, then edit the control's properties, the Properties dialog box is normally modal, meaning that you cannot select anything outside the dialog box.

If, however, you click the property sheet for the form or report containing the data outline control, the property sheet gets the focus, and the modality of the data outline control's Properties dialog box is lost. You can then select anything in the database.

When the modality of the control's Properties dialog box is broken as outlined above, your mouse pointer may disappear, and you may receive a general protection (GP) fault.
