thread559-226245: Hole Wizard error: cannot find swbrowser.mdb

I finally decided to go to SW2008 SP4.0 and am seeing the same issue.  It's most frustrating.  Any help on this one because it didn't seem to be solved on the previous thread?

RE: SW Update, Hole Wizard/Toolbox not found error

Any particular reason you didn't want to try SW2008 SP5.0?

Sorry I updated to 5.0, my bad.  It was late in the afternoon.  Each installation of a SP has caused SW to become even more of a behemoth and for that reason we aren't even considering SW9.0 until the economy improves somewhat.

You know what...we still have hole wizard problems in SW2009 3.0 not finding the table. So its really not fixed. It's a random bug and cannot duplicate when discussing it with our VAR. The fix is filing your work and then shutting down SW, and restart.

I checked another install here on another computer and found for some inane reason the installs/upgrades were mapping differently, despite them all being set up six months ago correctly.
