The company I worked for recently purchased four new laptops 2 from HP and 2 From a nearby computer store. We run a 2003 Access Database, and we have 2007 Access, this has not caused a problem on all of the other Vista Tops but on this one. The database is stored on the network, when you click on the database it does...Nothing!! However if you copy and paste the database on the desktop you can open it, or if you open access 2007 and open it from there it will work fine. It only will not work when you click on the database from the my computer screen, and click on it from there. Any thoughts??

You could try this substituting Drive Letter for your Mapped Drive Letter, Your Shared Folder and Database Name. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\ and check the folders. Create a shortcut from the modified link below and place it in the Allusers Desktop.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" "Drive letter:\Shared Folder\Access.mdb"
