"-2147467259. There is no error text available"

Hi,

I'm using an Access 2000 database and VB6. One of my users is getting the
error message specified below:

"The database has returned error -2147467259. There is no error text
available."

The error seems to be occuring when a recordset is being filtered.
It's quite odd she's the only one to get this message. The database is
located on a server and the exe is on her PC.

Has anyone of you encountered such a message before?

Thanks for your help

That number is hex 80004005, which is all too familiar to many people
as Access' generic "it didn't work" error code.

Is this particular user applying a different filter from anyone else?
Is it possible to log in as her from a different client PC and try the
same operation?

This error is OLE's E_FAIL (HRESULT) - "Unspecified error".

You need to isolate the exact point of the error and provide a bit more
information.
