I created a pivot table in 2002 excel on a machine linked to a gas
chromatograph. I sometimes have to open this spreadsheet in 2007 excel.
Some days it will update on both machines (2000 OS and a VISTA OS) sometimes
it will not on the older machine, but it will always work in the newer
machine. Any ideas as to why this would do that?

My connection string:
DSN=MS Access
Database;DBQ=SERVER_NAME\THM-VOC\SummaryBasic.mdb;DefaultDir=SERVER_NAME\THM-VOC;DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;
My command text is:
SELECT CompoundSummary.SampleName, RepHead.Compound,
CompoundSummary.SequenceNumber, CompoundSummary.RT, CompoundSummary.Amount,
CompoundSummary.Area, CompoundSummary.Units, RunHeader.AcqDate,
RunRecords.TimeDate, Compound.CalCmpdNum, CompoundSummary.ISArea,
RepHead.ISCompound, SampleResults.RT, SampleResults.ISRef,
CompoundSummary.ISRT
FROM `server_name\THM-VOC\SummaryBasic`.Compound Compound,
`SERVER_NAME\THM-VOC\SummaryBasic`.CompoundSummary CompoundSummary,
`SERVER_NAME\THM-VOC\SummaryBasic`.QualifierResults QualifierResults,
`SERVER_NAME\THM-VOC\SummaryBasic`.RepHead RepHead,
`SERVER_NAME\THM-VOC\SummaryBasic`.RunHeader RunHeader,

WHERE Compound.CalCmpdNum = SampleResults.CalCmpdNum AND
CompoundSummary.CompoundCreationNum = RepHead.CompoundCreationNum AND
QualifierResults.lCmpdCreationID = Compound.lCmpndCreationNum AND
SampleResults.Compound = RunRecords.Compound AND RepHead.Compound =
RunRecords.Compound

I apologies if this has been asked before. I did a search and my question
is the only one that comes up now, before nothing did. Does anyone have an
idea on how to fix this yet? Or is this a MS thing?
