Thanks Mike
I have been running Office 2007 including SPD and FP2003 together on my
Vista laptop for months no probs.
This issue appeared today and on several systems in different companies.
Some are WinXP + Office 2003 and some on WinXP with Office 2007. Some like me
are Vista + Office 2003 and 2007.
I fired up a PC which has not been updated for a month - all OK.
So the problem must be the latest Windows update.
We'll see what PSS recommend.
Regards
Graham
