Microsoft Access Problem
We have numerous shared Microsoft access databases throughout our network.
The individuals having the issues have the below configurations.
Windows XP SP3
Office 97 Professional
Local Admin. Rights
Example:
If employee A has a database open and employee B wants to open the same database. Employee B can't double click on the icon to open the database. Double clicking on the icon has no affect. No error, No message, nothing. Just like you didn't even double click on it.
I thought I had it pinned to the Microsoft jet engine not deploying to open a .ldb but then I found a work around. If I open Microsoft Access through start>>programs and then through Access open the database that I couldn't open by double clicking, everything works perfect. Opens up just fine.
Another interesting thing, if I log on to the workstations that are having problems as a Domain Admin I can open those databases just fine. I know what your thinking that it's a permission issue but it can't be. I have a few W2K workstations running Office 97 and logging in as a user that previously couldn't open the database using XP can with W2k.
I've search with no answers to this question.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
