Access 2003 won't open databases

Has anyone come across a similar problem? A company I'm doing some database
development work for has just installed 3 copies of MS Access 2003. Whenever
I try to open my Access database (created using Access 2003) it just shows
as a blank screen with no database structure. As a test, I created a new
database with a dummy table (no data) and then closed Access. After opening
Access again I opened the new database file with dummy table and same
problem, just a blank screen. I've even tried importing data from my
database into a new one but this also does not work. The database window
screen just remains the same with no messages to say that the import was
unsuccessful.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like what happens when the Access runtime is used to open a file that
doesn't load a form at startup or have a custom menu bar.

Just another by thought there was an Access 2000 runtime installed
previously, but this is no longer there, and it was only on one of the
machines. This problem is appearing on all the copies of Access,

I have a client who is running several Access 97 databases that I have written for them. They are about to upgrade to Access 2003.

Is there any reason for testing purposes etc, for me to purchase Access 2003 if I am going to recompile the Access 97 mdb files into Access 2000 format mde files which...

If Access 20003 is installled on a computer witth Access 2000 runtime also installed can this cause problems? Have uninstalled the runtime application as a precaution, (however this was after the Access 2003 was installed), but still can't view any databases when using Access 2003. After selecting a database to open all that comes up is a blank screen with no database window. Thanks in advance Dawn Davis

Could someone please help? I am using the 'defaultprt.zip' tool provided by Ken Getz to change the default printer via VBA code (code below). My problem is that once the default printer has been changed, Access 2003 still directs the report to the former default printer. Access 2003 picks up the new default printer setting only after I have reopened the application. I have checked the default printer setting in the OS control panel and the...

We are converting our projects to VS 2003 Professional from VS 2003 and found that we cannot open the Stored Procedures inside of the Projects. We can see the SP and it shows the fields, but when you double-click it, it doesn't open it so you can edit it. Also, when you drag a SP (or table for that matter), it creates a new SqlConnection object everytime - even when there is one or two on the page. This forces us to delete the new one...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
