Jon:

Honestly, I did not try it because I've had other things that are currrently
keeping me busy. I went back to SP1 and am hoping that a SP2 hotfix will be
available shortly.

Unfortunately, I need a post-SP2 hotfix for Excel that was developed for me.
I may have to address the Access problem again myself if I need to use the
updated Excel in the near future.

Sorry about that. I didn't paste their entire message. The key is

This doesn't fix it for me, did it work for you? I checked the Jet reg keys
over the weekend and found nothing wrong with them.

From the debugging I did, I've pinned it down to the feature AccessFiles and am
currently checking through that, although it's proving tricky to pin it down to
the sub feature that's causing it. I suspect someone in MS has manually
changed something in the Advertising tables, which is conflicting - causing a
repair everytime the app is launch.
