Runtime error

[psaaccess]

Hi,

In our company we are using the Novell client Windows XP and the MS Access 2000 databases. We created Application Launchers and we’ve been adding access 2000 database shortcuts into the Launchers. We installed the MS Access 2000 & MS Access 97 runtime for users. The Launcher is pointing to the access 97 database table. Until now it worked well without any problems.

We are migrating the Group wise email to an Outlook email. We are getting the 2003 outlook Micro soft standard.
When we install the outlook 2003, it is wiping out the MS Access 2000 software. Some computers are opening Launchers. Some computers give this statement: Jet VBA file (VBAJET.dll for 16-bit versions or VBAJET32.dll for 32-bit versions…… and it doesn’t open any applications. All launcher’s codes are in Visual Basic.

If I install Msaccess 2000 on Outlook installed computers, Is it open Ms Access 2000 applications(mde)?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

First of all, let me express my sympathies. Your company sounds like one of the places I work. It's like going into battle all the time.

With the upgrade to Outlook 2003, I wonder if Access 2003 is being installed on some computers and/or if the launchers are using the MSAccess.exe from 2003.

Here are some thoughts in random order:
[ul][li]Could someone have opened and saved the 2000 mdbs in 2003 format?[/li]

[li]It may be necessary to re-install Access 2000 to correct the dll issues.[/li]

[li]Since Access 2003 will open Access 2000 files, could you upgrade the mdbs to 2003 and only install Access 2003 on the client machines, eliminating Access 2000 completely?[/li][/ul]

I'm guessing here, but these are some places I would start.

Good luck.
