Access 2007 Runtime breaks Office 10
I installed Access 2007 Runtime for a test on a Win XP Pro system that
has Office 10. When I tried to run my previous application (.MDB) it run under Access 2007 Runtime, instead of Office 10. So I uninstalled Access 2007 Runtime, but it then I could not run any Office 10 applications (Access, Excel, Word). I ran the Office 10 installation CD and I expected the option to "fix", but it didn't appear, even though the files existed in Program Files. I ran a full installation and Word & Excel seems to be working OK. However, when I try to open my database via a Shortcut, an error popup appears saying.. Windows cannot find '...xxx.mdb'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file click the Start button, then click Search. even though the database does open normally. If I open the .mdb file instead of the Shortcut, I see a popup "Preparing to install" appear and then disappear. So... 1. How do I fix the Error popup when opening via the Shortcut 2. Is there a way to have both Access 10 and Access 2007 Runtime run on the same system? How do I do this? Thanks... |

Access 2007 Runtime breaks Office 10
You cannot install Office 10 Access together with Access 2007 Runtime.
Try to remove all Office 10 or uninstall Office 10 than install Office 10 without Access and install Access 2007 Runtime. Try to see if it works. Or try to install Office 10 Access only into a different folder. Don't let Access 2007 Runtime mess up the default folders. If it still doesn't work, try Virtual PC or VM. rlh wrote: I installed Access 2007 Runtime for a test on a Win XP Pro system that has Office 10.
