Access 2003 work with Vista

I

Izod

Thanks Doug. I've tried a couple of versions, the Pro
Enterprise Edition, and the Pro Edition, I uninstalled and
re-installed and all that stuff. Someone mentioned to
install Access by itself, I will try that. When I open it,
No matter what I do I get "An error has occurred and this
feature is no longer functioning properly; would you like
to repair this feature now? " If I check Yes, it goes
through the process, comes up and says it is repairing,
finishes then just loops back and puts the error up again.

If I take no, It manages to come up with another error
"3228" a collating problem. I found a fix for that, by
getting into the registry and editing the collating sequence
value, however it appeared to be what it should have been
"Ascii ", but it made no difference. I did notice however
an entry that was the (Default) which contained
no values. I set that to "Ascii " and of course that didn't
work. My next attempt will be to save the Registry, remove
that default sequence default entry and see what happens.
Messing with the Registry, makes me nervous. Do you have any
suggestions?

Thanks for your response

In order for it to work correctly you need to set your MSAccess.EXE file (not
the mdb file) to RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. I have 2000, 2003, and 2007 on my
desktop and they all work fine, but unless the MSAccess.EXE file is set to
RAA then it will not work.

Thank you Bob for the response. I'm not trying to push my luck here, being
new to this stuff, I will need a little assistance on how to set the MSAccess
file to RAA.
When I leave this post, I'll be searching for that answer. Thanks again
Bob, I really didn't think I was going to get help. You can't imagine how
many times I've loaded and reloaded programs thinking it was cause by other
programs I loaded.

The best to you. Chet.

To set the MSAccess.exe to run as admin, it is likely here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Officexx\

where xx is the version of your Office. If you only have one version
installed then it is likely under:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\

So, right-click on the file and select the COMPATIBILITY tab and then check
the checkbox for Run As Administrator.

Hope that helps.
