Did you make sure to kill *all* Wine processes? Otherwise any change
is null and void...

That one looks like it's very easy.

That was the reason for a crash in another Access 97 runtime, too.
I tried to implement this function, but I couldn't figure out how it is
able to figure out the data required for the result.

Since this seems to be required for many/all Access 97 runtimes,
it should be implemented ASAP (especially since Access runtimes may be
a major Linux migration factor), so does anyone know how to implement that?
(preferrably before Wine 0.9 maybe? ;)
