Access 2000 DB opening with Access 97
A user in our group has both Access 97 & Access 2000
loaded on their system. They have a short cut to an Access 2000 DB on their desktop, but when they click it... it attempts to open with Access 97 and fails. Is there a way to make Access 2000 the default to open databases? Or is there a way to define that Access 2000 should be used to open this particular DB? What options do I have and what steps do I need to take? Thank you! Cathy |

Cathy Edit the Shortcut (right-click and select Properties) and place the full path to the Access 2000 executable in front of the DB name (Use the quotation marks [I don't have A2K but you get the idea]): "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office XP\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" "Drive:\Path to MDB\Filename.mdb" |
