Problem with Access on Vista

by edlockett . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

We have developed a (fairly simple) application in Microsoft Access 2003 that is to be deployed to client computers using the Access 2007 Runtime. It has been thoroughly tested and works fine with the Runtime on Windows XP. However, it causes problems when used on a computer with Windows Vista.
First it complained about not being able to find a required DLL, FPDTC.DLL – this appears to be related to FrontPage and I’m not sure what part of the application would use something from this library. I copied the file in question from a Windows XP computer, which made the error go away.
Now this is the funny part – the application falls over (runtime error) whenever it encounters the Date function. The function Now, which returns date and time, does not cause a problem. How could this be?
Any advice on this issue would be most appreciated!
