Access 2007 using 2003 runtime - Runs wrong application mde version

1 New Member
I am having an issue maybe someone can help with. I have written an application with Access 2003 on my XP pc. I then package it and install it on my VISTA Access 2007 PC. When I do this the wrong version of the application is run. Meaning, the form changes that I just made are not there, they are from the previous version. I know it is the correct application because I can install it on another XP PC with no problem, and the FIRST time on a VISTA 2007 PC. The problem is when I do an upgrade.

When I run from the descktop icon I do get the message that Access 2003 runtime is being loaded. But wrong version. This is the path in the icon:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11 \MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\Program Files\MyApplica tion.mde" /runtime

If I change to OFFICE12, the correct version of the application is executed, but in 2007.

I package the BE with the 2003 runtime, but not the FE.

Is there something not getting updated when I reinstall? I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have deleted eveyting I can find on the harddrive with a name like MyApplication.

Thank you,
kfry

Switching between 2 versions involves registry changes at run-time. In order to make it completely safe to run 2003 and 2007 applications together on the same machine, microsoft provides a download for a Virtual machine. See this link for details:

We've had a very large A97 app running fine for the last seven years. I've just converted to SQL Server backend, which is being tested, but meanwhile the JET based version, running under terminal server, has suddenly started running very slowly. The network engineer has thrown up his hands and said "It's Access 97". I've checked out lots of things including the Oplocks setting and other stuff from this NG, and I think I've done everything...

Most of my projects are developed in Access 2003. I have not even installed Office 2007 yet! I need to buy VSTO to get the run-time licence for Access 2003. No doubt I will soon need a run-time licence for Access 2007. Is there a version of VSTO that has the Access run-time licence for both version of Access? Or will I need to buy VSTO 2003 now and then VSTO 2007 at a later date? Thanks,

Hi, I understand that the runtime will be free with access 2007. I wonder about the following scenario: A user will have the full version of access 2003 installed (or an earlier version). A developer will offer an acess 2007 application, and suggest to the user to download and install the runtime for access 2007. If the user were to do so, will that interfere with her access 2003

Hello All, I have a major application for quoting and invoicing that is written in Access 97 (both front and back ends). I have a user base of over 300 customers, and currently I don't require that they have Access 97, as I use the access 97 runtime scripts from Sagekey software. The main problems I've seen with Access 97 are the built in e-mail support for sending reports. Unless a user uses the MS Outlook 2000/XP method, they have to...

A client of mine likes some of the new bells and whistles in Access 2007, and is thinking about converting our A03 format MDB to an A07 format file. However, while some of the users have A07, many do not, and it's not clear when they would get it. His thought was to use the upcoming Access 2007 runtime to allow the users who are still running Office 2003 to be able to run the database. While I use multiple versions of Access on my...

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.

When another version of Access (other than Access 2002) was on the system then I simply...

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?

Hi !! I'm about to develop a new project for a client. Should I go about it in Access 2003 or 2007 ? Purchasing it either for me or for my client is not a major consideration here ... what I'd like to know is the stability, speed & ease of use of both the products. I believe Access 2007 has a new file format too and that it may be slower.

Hi, I'd created a MDE under Access 2003. It is now under testing stage. Some of the users will use Access 2003 runtime and some will use Access 2007 runtime to run this MDE. I installed the Access 2007 runtime on a test machine and place the MDE in the Desktop for user's initial testing. I did not create a trust area for this MDE in the test machine as well as in my development machine. When I tested the MDE using /runtime switch in my...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
