Error loading MS Access 97

Hi,

Has anyone encountered the following error opening MS Access 97: "Error writing updated settings to registry (Error 6 Registry key Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Common\OpenFind\Microsoft Access\Settings\Open\Any Text MRU).

We are currently running Access '97 on XP 1.0 FR1 servers in our farm. We have run into many problems using it and are working hard to get it off of our servers. It is a resource hog and we have run into registry problems after installing it.

Until we can get Access '97 off of our metaframe boxes, we have to run regmon against our apps after Access '97 install. We search the regmon results for "denied" to find the keys that we cannot access. It seems as though some of the keys have had there permissions removed. Reset the permissions on these keys and hopefully you are good to go!

Thanks for your insight.

We were able to resolve this issue (actually none of the Office programs worked either, but we hardly use them in Citrix) by running regedt32. We updated the Microsoft container under HKEY_LOCAL_USER and changed the security for all users to Full Access.

The trick was to run it at the local level on the Citrix server, because logging in as administrator on the network, only affected the administrator!
