Access Stopped Working

[pjscott]

I'm running Win Vista 32bit, Access 2003 and 2007.

Last week I installed Office 2007 and kept 2003 installed. Now any database
I open in 2003 I get the following message. "Microsoft Office Access has
stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Paul

This is a bug that is partly the fault of Office 2007 and partly the fault
of Vista. You can read about it here:

There is no solution eminent from Microsoft, but the article lists some
workarounds.

It takes a while for all the registrations between versions 2003 and 2007 to
get done. Every time you try to open in the opposite version from the one
that's registered, you'll have to wait until it's finished. With that in
mind. Try opening Access 2003 first and wait several minutes (up to as long
as 5 minutes has been reported) for it to fully open. After it's open, try
opening Northwind. That should work OK. Assuming it does, you should then be
able to open other databases.
