Access 97 and Windows Vista

Is it possible to run Access 97 on Windows Vista? I have installed
Access 97 and Access 2000, when I run Access 2000, then try to open
Access 97 it says it cant find the windows registry entries?
Re-Installing Access 97 seems to fix it until I open Access 2000 again.

I have run both Access 97 and Access 2000 on all previous versions of
windows without any problems.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As the article explains, the issue is that Windows Vista doesn't give Access
enough priviliges to re-write the registry when it loads.

I have a piece of code (written is Visual Studio 2005) that is only reading the Security EventLog. On Windows XP Professiona/Home this code works just fine. int numberOfEntries = myEventLog.Entries.Count; if (numberOfEntries > 0) ... However, when run under Windows Vista I get the error "Requested registry access is not allowed." This error occurs when the first line of code is executed.

Hi. Not sure that this is the right place to ask but here goes. I have an application based on access97 and VB6 which I need to upgrade. It has to handle up to 20 concurrent users on a Win2k network ( to be upgraded to XP next year) which has no connection to the outside world, but normally there are no more than 2. It has approximately 150 tables with complicated validation rules and a large amount of calculation. I want to rewrite it...

If you develop for others, you probably have multiple versions of Access installed so you can edit and create MDEs for clients in different versions. This works fine under Windows XP, even with Access 2007 installed. It does *not* work under Windows Vista Ultimate. After running Access 2007, when you open an earlier version of Access, no code works, because the references are fouled up. And Access 97 does not work at all. Access should...

Hello - This is my first posting to this group, so please bear with me. Also note, that while I'm intelligent, databases are not in my field of knowledge. I'm working with a small limousine company. They presently have about 4 networked computers, all running Windows XP (w/SP2) and Microsoft Office 2000 (specifically Access 2000) - and a plain jane p3 server also running Windows XP (w/sp2) with Office 2000 loaded onto it.

Hi Have just installed IIS7 on Vista and am trying to access a .mdb file through ASP. Getting server error. I think the problem is in the file permission. Under XP Pro/IIS6 is used to have to set the .mdb file security via windows explorer to give IUSR_machinename full permissions on this file for anonymous web access. Cant seem to do this with Vista explorer - says object cannot be found.

Hi all, So I bought a new laptop 10 days ago to test my apps with Vista. (home premium) Apparently Office 2007 is pre-installed. (a time limited but complete test version, no SP1) So I take the opportunity to test some new features of Access2007 before actually 'stepping over'. First thing that troubles me of course is 'the ribbon', but my question now is about speed. I opened one of my Access 2000-apps in Access 2007. Speed and...

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,...
