location of msaccess.exe in Office2007 Enterprise Edition
I have always found the Microsoft Access executable in the folder "C:\Prog...\Microsoft...\Officexx\". Now,I have one instance on a computer running Office 2007 Enterprise Edition, where opening Access from the "Start Menu" works fine but I cannot locate the specific executable (msaccess.exe) anywhere on the machine to use in the "run" command. A different computer running "straight" Office 2007 has the msaccess.exe file in the normal place. I need to be able to shell out to the executable to run some external programs but am unable to do so. Does anyone have a solution ?

right click the icon, go to properties, and under the general tab it will have the location of the Executable.

Thanks, but when I do that, the "Target" is listed as "Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007"

re: location of executable....
According to Microsoft, to locate the executable on an XP machine, follow these instructions.
To locate the executable file to determine which version of a 2007 Office product is installed, follow these steps:
Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
1. Click Start, click Run, type "%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office12" in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
2. Locate the executable or core file in the folder.
Note Depending on the Windows settings, the .exe file name extension may not be displayed.
------------
Now, if they installed in a different location (ie, not program files), you're going to have to go fishing to find where they put it.

That location indicates to me that the installation of Access on that particular computer wasn't a normal install. It must have been a stand-alone install of the Access program and they gave it a different path during install.
If you can't make your "shell" programming find it no matter where it's located, you should uninstall/reinstall on that computer and put it where it belongs.

Thanks, but I'm good to go. As long as I know where it is located, I can path to it in my Shell script and get the results I need. The computer is part of a University network and the installation was done by some of their IT staff. The interesting thing was, the IT people were made aware of our quest for the executable but were no help whatsoever.

Re: Location of msaccess.exe in Office2007 Enterprise Edition
It is location in the following directory.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 then press the Type button on the menu to sort it. Find the apps section and soon you will see MSACESS.EXE! Now go **** yourself!!!

Nice catch.
It was originally at the top of my list (which actually stated as an additional problem; singular), but further additions were coming fast and furious as I considered this for a second or two.
How sad.

Location of MSAccess.exe by VBA
Use strLocation = SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessDir)
This works for most version of MSAccess no matter where Access has been installed.
