Access 2003 and Vista

Has anyone had any issues with Access 2003 with windows Vista?
Everytime i open Access i get windows installer running. When i try to
create a new report, I get "Installing Microsoft Access Feature". Then
when i try to create a report from the wizard, or any other way, i can
not add the fields that i want.

This issue is happening through out Office 2003 as well.

This should no keep recurring, unless you have multiple versions of Office
installed and keep switching between them.

You could try creating a Run As Admin shortcut to msaccess.exe, and see if
that sorts it out. Details:

Did the RunAsAdmin shortcut help?

No it did not work. I had to re-install Vista as a full install and
then re-install Office. Now it works just fine. Thanks for your help
though.

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...

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...

Been using Access 97 for years. I use a statistics add-on (Total Access Statistics) which is kind of expensive and I haven't found anything to be gained by upgrading. But I'm now told I probably should because of memory issues with Access 97 which are getting increasingly fussy. I'm told that, at best, Access 2007 isn't really very good, that the better memory management came with 2003. Any thots? Also, is Vista really that bad?

I'm in the progress of upgrading from Access 97 to Access 2003. I've read about some of the bugs introduced by Office Service Pack 3: http://allenbrowne.com/bug-Access2003SP3.html I've also seen the KB945674 hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945674 Does SP3 cause more problems than it solves? Would I be better off installing SP2 (and not SP3) or installing SP3 along with the hotfix?

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,...
