I am running Windows XP pro and I have a micorosoft access 2002 database that has hyperlinks in it. Why can't windows XP open them, I always get an error saying can not open file or can not find file. The hyper links work fine under Windows 2000. What do I have to change in XP to get this to work

P.S. I have made sure that my hyper-link base is correct.

Any Suggestions

The database was created with Access 2002 and the target XP PC office version is 2002. I have also run office update to make sure everything is patched.

Run Office Install => Add/remove components=>uninstall the whole office=>Restart

Install office again and be sure to select "RUN EVERYTHING FROM THE HARD DRIVE" and check out if you select ALL COMPONENTS OF the MS OFFICE
