Opening db error msg

[George]

Hi all,

all of a sudden when opening an A2K database by double-
clicking the file itself, I receive the following error
message: Microsoft can't find the database file
DB_PATH_AND_NAME. Make sure you entered the correct path
and name.

If I attempt to open it from with A2K by going thru File |
Open menu, I receive this error: The Microsoft Jet
database engine cannot open the following file
DB_PATH_AND_NAME. It is already opened exclusively by
another user, or you need permission to view this data.

I checked the folder and there is no LDB file present.

I recently made some change to the folder's permission. It
used to have FULL CONTROL to Authenticated Users group. I
changed to FULL CONTROL to Adminstrators and Users group.
However now I have changed it back and it still didn't
work.

Can anyone shed some light on this? TIA.

By any chance did you install an older version of Access, such as 97 after
the installation of A2K? If so, then the registry is probably misaligned. If
you need to have both versions you need to install 97 first and then install
A2K to another directory other than the standard Microsoft folders, such as
Office2000....
