I have a shortcut to an .mde file that several people in my company use. There is a single computer in the company that cannot run the reports. A little back history.
The program is Access 2000. Access 2000 would not open because the system.mdw file was corrupted. I mistakenly assumed an uninstall and reinstall of Office 2000 would fix the issue (Outlook also had issues). It did not. I found a copy of the system.mdw in an i386 folder and copied the file into C:\program files\common files\system and renamed the old file. Access would open now but it will not run the .mde file. I copied the system.mdw file from a known working computer and was still unable to access the .mde file. I updated to SP3 with still no luck, checked the MDAC but it was running XP SP2 so those components were included. I have performed a compact and repair on the database with no luck as well. Access can open the sample databases. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
