Running a ms access database with access 2003 in Vista

I have a Database that I am trying to run on a new vista computer. Up
to now I was running it on a win 98 computer and using access 2003! I
installed access 2003 and I can make it run and view the data but I
can not save any new records.
Has any one seen this problem yet?

Thanks Clarence Wollman

Hi
I found a workaround. This database has a fronted and a backed. When I
link them in the linked table manager, I was going threw the network
to my computer. The reason I am doing this is when any networked
computer opens the shortcut to the front end of this computer the
linked table manger knows where to find the backed.
When i changed the linked table manager to just look on drive c/
werevertheprogramis it works fine. The only problem is I can't access
it threw the network.
So it must be some setting in widows vista. It worked fine on the old
windows xp machine.

So for now I have it working on one computer. I will have to think
about how to make it network accessible.
Thanks for your help.
