I purchased a laptop with Microsoft ME operating system. Then loaded my Access97 from the original CD. The icon for access was not put on the desktop. When I located the icon and clicked it I get the message that I have not specified the correct path to a database or a database at all. Has anyone else had this problem with ME? I am a novice at loading new programs but have never had a problem with Windows 95 or Windows 98 on my PC. Thanks for any help you can give me.

ME and Access97

I've never had this problem with ME, my version of Access 97 works fine on my laptop with Windows Me on it. It could be, however, that the default file location (usually 'C:\My Documents') is incorrect depending on your configuration within Windows. I have problems wioth some of my Office stuff as it looks initially for the 'C:\My Documents' folder and if it is not there, as on Windows 2000, it throws up an error. However, usually if I click 'OK' it goes on as normal to show the Open dialog. Have fun!
