Access 2007 FE/SQL 2005 BE - Fatal errors occurring

I have a database with a frontend that was built in Access 2000 and at the
time we set it up with a SQL 2005 backend.

Recently we upgraded to Access 2007. SQL however was not upgraded. Is
there any known issues with the compatibility between these 2? We have been
experiencing system shutdowns and fatal errors. The frontend was not
converted to 2007.

We have also recently increased the amount of users and data sent to the
database.

Any thoughts?
 
?More specifics?

How many users?

How much data?

Does each use have his/her own copy of the front-end, or are they "sharing"
a single copy located on your LAN?

More info, please.

There are about 30 users - 12 of which run through a VPN.
The size of the front end is 2732 KB. The size of the back end is 1423.38 MB.

Each user has a copy of the front end in their C drive.

The shutdown is occuring when users are making a large memo entry on a form.
We have a command button that opens the form with the memo field. The user
then enters the data & when they select complete, the data is copied to 2
separate fields in the table.

We had this functionality in Access 2000 without any issues. It just
started occurring when we begin using 2007.
 
Can you confirm that the application (*front-end*) was fully-compiled in
Access 2000 before you began using Access 2007?

Can you compile (using Access 2007) a copy of the front-end?

I was able to confirm that the application was not fully-compiled in 2000.
I did compile the front-end and have the users using the new copy.

I did receive a notification today that a user did receive a system
shutdown. The error occurs when they are in the middle of entering data into
a memo field which is on a subform. The user is running the BE thru the VPN.

I did attempt to increase the ODBC timeout on all of the queries, however,
all of the queries reset to 60 sec. However, the shutdown today was not due
to an ODBC call failure.
