Hi,
We have a situation where we install Access 2000 runtime on computers by assignment in group policy (GP) and Access 2000 full edition to users using GP.
This works well as long as a user with full Access 2k does not logon to a PC with runtime assigned. When this happen Access 2000 must be physically uninstalled before runtime will work for a user without full Access 2000.
When this situation occurs and a user without full access logs in, they get an error about not having a licensewhen they try to open a DB… when the system should use Access runtime.
Is there a way to install both Access and runtime using GPO that aviods this issue?
It seems that when Access fulll installs, it over writes the license info for runtime and even reinstalling runtime does not fix the prob, only uninstalling full Access (as the user that installed it) and then installing runtime again (running as a repair) seems to fix the problem.
Have tried to capture the reg changes made but to no avail.
Access and Runtime Access are installed into different folders…
Not a teribbly huge issue as it does not happen that often, just enough to be anoying!
Help!
Thanks
Justin
