Hi
I've just issued a database to a user with Windows Vista, using Access Runtime 2007. The CD used to deploy the database appears not to be corrupted, and installs the program and database FINE onto one of his laptops.
However, on his other laptop the Database gets linked to open with WordPad (!), and the desktop shortcut icon reflects this incorrect association. When the desktop shortcut is double-clicked then sure enough Wordpad gets loaded and not the Access database!
All the expected files have definitely been copied from the CD onto the hard drive, as too has MS Access Runtime 2007 so I'm dumbfounded at what's going on as you can imagine.
I have tried changing the application with which the database opens, but haven't been able browse to/locate the Runtime application file (.exe) to which the database should be linked, perhaps if I could this would be the answer to the problem? Anyone know where it's hiding?
Anyone had any similar experience? Could there perhaps simply be a corruption on the Laptop (Vista)?
