I have a Database that I am trying to run on a new vista computer. Up
to now I was running it on a win 98 computer and using access 2003! I
installed access 2003 and I can make it run and view the data but I
can not save any new records.
Has any one seen this problem yet?

Thanks Clarence Wollman

Do you have the same problem with the Northwind sample application?
(search your computer for northwind.mdb)

re: Running a ms access database with access 2003 in Vista


Hi
I found a workaround. This database has a fronted and a backed. When I
link them in the linked table manager, I was going threw the network
to my computer. The reason I am doing this is when any networked
computer opens the shortcut to the front end of this computer the
linked table manger knows where to find the backed.
When i changed the linked table manager to just look on drive c/
werevertheprogramis it works fine. The only problem is I can't access
it threw the network.
So it must be some setting in widows vista. It worked fine on the old
windows xp machine.

So for now I have it working on one computer. I will have to think
about how to make it network accessible.
Thanks for your help.
