Problems with Access 2003 / Office 97
I've recently installed Office 2003, and added Access 2003, and they run
fine, but, when I try to open an Access database I created in Office 97, I get a message telling me I need to join certain Workgroups/User Groups. As I created the database on my home PC, I am the administrator, so there shouldn't be a problem. Trouble is, Access won't open the database at all, so I can't get in to check the Workgroup/User Groups. Any suggestions would be most welcome - I've over 4,500 records in the database, and the thought of creating a new one and entering the data again is daunting! I run Windows XP with XP SP2. |

Run Regedit to look in the registry: look at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\8.0\A ccess\Jet\3.5\Engines on my machine it shows C:\WINNT\system32\SYSTEM.MDW Make sure that the file exists, and that it is the A97 version of the file. If the registry entry (which is set by the workgroup administrator program) points to an Access 2003 version of the file, it won't work. (david) "BlueSteve" wrote in message ...
