I have a docmd.transferspreadsheet procedure which was
working just fine. Then, it was run one day and the
computer froze (stuck on hourglass). So, I ctr+alt+del
and ended the MS Access program (which was 'not
responding'). Now, the docmd.transferspreadsheet
procedure does not work. I get run-time error #
3161 "Could not decrypt file". The error occurs on the
docmd.transferspreadsheet line. I didn't change anything
in the procedure or the file.

1. Does anybody know what to do about this error?

2. Is a ctr+alt+del what you are supposed to do to stop a
procedure which has hung up your computer? Is their a
better practice that prevents things like this from
happening?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Jeremy
