Loading 2 versions of runtime | | |
I have computers setup with A97 runtime with mde's. Work perfectly.
I've written an app in 2003 and purchased the Developer extensions.
When I load A2003 runtime with my app on a computer that has A97
runtime, I cannot open the A 97 mde's.
I was under the impression that the developer extensionsl allow for
having both runtimes on a computer.
1. A97 Runtime loaded first
2. A2003 runtime loaded second.
I've tested the a2003 mde in runtime mode on computer without A97 and
it works perfectly.
Is there anything I can do to have both runtime versions run on one
computer with two different mde's?
Any advise is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Lar

2 versions of Access can not exist on the same O/S, the only way you're
going to do that is with a dual-boot computer. The DLLs for the 2
versions of Access are completely different and will not interract with
each other.

False!
You can have two versions (or more) of runtime on the same box, on the
same OS.
Just make sure that the path to msaccess for each shortcut point to the
right 'msaccess.exe' and of course you have installed them in different
folders.
Example:
' "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Art\Office10\msaccess.exe "
"c:\MyXP_DB.mde" ' for Access XP .mde or .mdb file and
' "C:\MyProgram\Runtime\Office\msaccess.exe " "c:\My97_DB.mde" ' for
Access 97 .mde or .mdb file.
The same goes for other versions of runtime (A2k, A2k3) or for other
combinations of runtime.
Cheers!

Rubbish, I have in the past had Access2, Access97, Access2k, AccessXp and
Access2003 all loaded on the same PC under the same OS at the same time.

You have to load them in sequence (A97 followed by A2k3) and they have to be
installed in different folders.
You then have to ensure that each mdb/mde uses the correct version, which
you can do by using shortcuts.

And how do you prevent the OCXs in Windows/System32 from being

I've worked on networks for several years and have never seen it done,
at least not without clusterphuxing your machine. To have 5 versions
of Access on the same machine is preposterous, and I apologize for this
but I think you're full of crap.

Ummm... Terry Kreft has forgotten more about Access then you and I know put
together. Further, in this particular case, he is 100% correct.
I've always had 3 to 4 versions on my machines without any complications. So
do all of the Access MVP's that I know. So do most of the Access developers
out there. Everyone it seems, except for you, is capable of following the
simple instructions that Terry laid out.

Well, I'm sorry that in your many years of experience you appear to have
failed to achieve any level of competence in installing different versions
of Access on one machine under one OS.
A simple review of this problem in Google would have shown you that not only
is it possible, it is achieved by many people (try searching on the phrase
"Different versions of access on one machine").
I think I should point out that it is particularly gutless to apologise
before abusing someone. Luckily in this case having demonstrated to the
world that you are incompetent, gutless, rude and ill-informed I believe
that most people will be able to decide the level of confidence they should
have in any further posts of yours and will be able to make an informed
decision as to whether they need to spend any of their valuable time reading
anything you post.

I have disagreed with lots and lots of people in he NGs, some of those
people I respected before the fact, some I later went on to respect (and
some were irredeemable idiots <g>).
There's nothing wrong with disagreeing (obviously) bur it's best to be
reasonably certain of your ground before doing so and to be honest resorting
to insults normally makes most people highly suspicious of the strength of
your arguments and, even worse, usually diverts the thread into less than
helpfull paths.
I don't want you to go away, I'd like you to stay here and engage in
providing accurate answers to peoples questions and argue/debate points
which you disagree with.
There's a lot to learn for _everyone_ in here that's the continuing
attraction of participating

He's not full of crap. For a long time I ran Access97 and 2000 together.
Then I added 2003 and had all 3 versions going.

I've never seen it done on a Novell Network. If you can point out a
primer on doing this across a Novell Network I will eat my words in
public, on the White House steps while wearing a purple tutu and
makeup.
So far as I know, Novell will not allow more than one version of
Access to run on the same machine, because it recreates the registry on
each load.

What in the *hell* are you talking about? Access is only every
installed on a workstation, not on a server, and there's no such
thing as a Novell workstation. The only thing you put on a server is
the MDB data file, and that is accessed by workstations through the
file system, so installation of Jet or Access is COMPLETELY
IRRELEVANT FOR A NOVELL SERVER.

There are a great many people on this NG that have multiple versions of
Access installed on their systems without problems. If you prefer not
to believe them, perhaps you should give it a try yourself rather than
prolonging this pissing contest.

On a Novell network the server controls the content of the
workstations. This is how you allow some users to use some programs
and other users to NOT use those programs, and how you limit users from
installing "sanctioned" programs only. Just because you don't
understand a Novell network doesn't give you the right to get all
uppity about it.
Oh wait. Now I sound like you.

file system, so installation of Jet or Access is COMPLETELY
IRRELEVANT FOR A NOVELL SERVER.

None of your (out of the blue) Novell network behavior statements alter the fact
that your original comment...
2 versions of Access can not exist on the same O/S, the only way you're
going to do that is with a dual-boot computer. The DLLs for the 2
versions of Access are completely different and will not interract with
each other.
....is a load of rubbish on all but this very specific Novell environment which
you only injected as a lame attempt to salvage an incorrect position.

I've been working with Novell networks for over 10 years. I do
understand tham. I think the way CNEs are trained to set them up is
as user-hostile as could ever be possible, but, I do understand
them.
If the Novell sysadmin decided to allow users access to Access
runtimes in two different versions, they could have access. There's
nothing about Novell that prevents this, except, perhaps, sysadmin
intransigence. Quote:

Your statement as you originally made it was COMPLETELY WRONG.
So far as I'm aware, it's also wrong now that you've narrowed it to
Novell networks.

So far as I can tell, it's also wrong on Novell, unless the Novell
admin has decided to set it up that way.

Actually, you're wrong. But you're an "Access MVP" so I forgive you.
