HELP! Can not open Access files

[cocoonfx]

Hello


For some reason Access will not allow me to open any mdb files. When i click on the file to open Microsoft opens the install wizard for office 2000 and asks for disc 2. If i press ok its says DATA2.msi is missing.

However if i open access through the Programs menu and then go and search for the mdb file i can open it with no problems.

My question is how to solve this problem as i have to copy give someone a copy of one of my databases and i don't want to pass on any bugs etc... ???


Help!

Sounds to me you are opening a file on your local hard drive as opposed to a server mdb? The mdb is maybe expecting Access to be on your local drive.

Hello

Is there any way to stop it from happening as all the access mdb are on the c drive or a backup drive?

Is MS access on your C drive or a server?

I'm sorry, then I'm stuck too! Most of my experiences with a fault like this has been a network issue. I wonder if anyone else can help?
