Access 2002 won't start

When launching Access, I'm getting error message stating "a problem
occured while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE Server or
ActiveX control." After dismissing dialog box, another one pops up in
its place, etc. - preventing me from using Access. Any idea what
causes it?

I've had this message before (long time ago), when opening database
developed in Access 2000. I converted the database to 2002, and that
solved it. Now Access won't start at all. The only thing I've done
recently was to install IE7.

Any leads appreciated.

I have two clients now who want to have an Access 2000 & 2002 application running on NT Server 2000 do some file updating at night when nobody is in the office. I have used Windows scheduler to schedule the apps to start at 4:00 am, but at that time of night, nobody is logged on to the server. Is it possible to get Access to run on a server when nobody is logged on? Many thaks Mike Thomas

Um yeah....In case you haven't figured it out, Microsoft sucks. I'm going to be kicked back in my chair eating popcorn and watching football 10 years from now, while all you clowns are scrambling to rewrite all your code because Microsoft upgraded all their crap and nothing you wrote 10 years earlier works. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Microsoft is unreliable. Try opening an Excel 95 spreadsheet you wrote in...

Hi I have a front-end/back-end setup. The front-end utilises all unbound forms populating the back-end via the code I have written. All fine so far. Prior to splitting the database I ran the security wizard and used a shortcut from the desktop. All fine except of course I can open the back-end directly. The security FAQ appears to be out of date insofar as there is no wrkgadm.exe with 2002 and therefore you simply run the security...

When I ordered my new laptop, Sony didn't offer Access 2003 in its bundles. Recently, I have begun to design Access databases using an copy of Access 2002 from my previous laptop. It works fine, but I would like to have all the office apps on the same version. So I have a few questions: 1) Is the file format the same as 2002? Can 2002 users read 2003 files? 2) What are the major reasons for upgrading to 2002 ?

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 the default file format of Access 2003 still Access 2000 the same as it was in Access 2002? I am running Access 2002 at the moment. 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...

Folks once again I look forward to your invaluable assistance. When converting an Access 2002 mdb back to Access 1997 using the Access 2002 inbuilt tools I receive the following error message "Some errors happened during the conversion. No converted database was generated". This message is not of great assistance to me in sorting out the error!! I have not been able to find any helpful support on where to start looking

I have a simple database which was originally written in Access 97. When converted to Access 2000 file format it ran flawlessly in Access 2002. I've just tried to run it in Access 2003 and I am seeing the following behaviour: Some of the fields on the continuous main form which is a list of jobs with their related details "flicker". While this is going on the form seems to function as it should and isn't locked up. If I click and hold...

Is there a way to find out where an application was created from? i.e. - work or home i.e. - if application sits on a (work) server/network, the IT people know the application is sitting there, but is there a way they can find out if that application was put there from a CD or email or created at work? Hint: It's not on a client/server database, just native jet database mdb created on Access 2003 (default 2000)...

Hello I develop my applications in Access 2002. My development system is running Windows XP SP2 and I have Microsoft Office XP Developer. Microsoft Office XP is at SP3.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
