After you use Microsoft Access to create a replica that is in a replica set, a problem may occur when you try to use Jet 4.0 Service Pack 7, Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8, or the 837001 hotfix to synchronize the database with that replica over the Internet. You may receive the following error message:

Invalid HTTP Address

Note This same issue may occur when you use Data Access Objects (DAO) to synchronize the database with the replica.
When you try to open a table in Access that is linked to a Microsoft Excel worksheet file (.xls), you may receive the following error message:

External table is not in the expected format
When you use version 4.0.5325.0 of the ODBC Mspbde40.dll file driver or later versions for a Paradox database, some queries may not return any records.
If you create a partial replica that uses a filter, such as Country="usa", after you install Jet 4.0 MS04-014, the operation may not be completed successfully. You may also receive the following error message:

Invalid filter expression
When you use Access to create a query that is based on an empty Paradox 4.x-linked table that is protected with a password, you may receive the following error message:

Reserved error (-7); there is no message for this error
When you use Access to link to an AS400 table, you may receive the following error messages:

Invalid Index Definition
Index already exists
