Problem running Access 2003 and Access 2000 apps on same machine.
We have an Access 2003 compiled application that is installed on a
client computer that already has Access 2000 apps on it. The Access 2003 app works fine but when they try and run the Access 2000 app it errors out. However if they start up Access 2000 and then attempt to run the Access 2000 app it works. It seems to me that when the 2003 app runs it registers the runtime dlls which then cause the 2000 app to stop working. Somehow starting Access 2000 resets the dlls. Could this be an valid explanation? If so could somebody tell me what the runtime dlls are for both 2003 and 2000. Thanks for your help. |

Problem running Access 2003 and Access 2000 apps on same machine.
My solution has always been to avoid the .mdb extension
make your own ie ..a2k ..a97 ..a2kXP sample registry file: ------------------------------------- REGEDT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.a2k] @="Access.Application.9" ------------------------------------- and let Access versions quarrel as much as they want about .mdb ;-) HTH Pieter "Mark C" no_chance wrote in message . .. I don't know the entire reason, but it does seem to me that that is how it works. When either of the apps (2000 vs 2003) they register themselves as handlers for mdb adp etc and the only way to get them to launch correctly is to launch them with the correct run time path in the shortcut. e.g. c:\program files\common files\access2000runtime\msacess.exe project.mde Works fine for my multi version apps.

See: INFO: Access 2000/Access 97 Coexistence FEPs (Frequently Experienced Problems) http://www.trigeminal.com/usenet/usenet019.asp?1033 Subject: INFO: Avoiding the default system.mdw loss when re-registering Access 97 http://www.trigeminal.com/usenet/usenet018.asp Also there are some programs out there which will automatically start the appropriate version of Access. One of those is ACCVER - Allows you to work with multiple versions of MS Access databases. Detects the version of Access used to create your MDB, MDE or MDA files and either reports the version number or starts the appropriate version of MS Access. http://www.aylott.com.au/accver.htm Mark and Peters suggestions will work quite well too.
