Hello all
I have an Access 2010 front end to a SQL Server 2008 R2 Express database that has been created and worked on using Windows 7. To distribute the front end to other users in my office I've used the 'Make ACCDE' feature and have then saved the front end on other machines that have the Runtime version of Access installed.
This all works fine on other Windows 7 machines, but it doesn't work on Windows XP machines.
I came across this problem a little while ago and found some posts on a couple of forums about this being a known issue and I think that there was a work around. But now that I'm trying to resolve the problem I don't seem to be able to find the same posts that I had seen before!
Can someone please point me in the right direction.
I think I recall that one option is to create the ACCDE file on a Windows XP machine running Access 2010, but if possible I'd like to do it all on my Windows 7 machine as I don't have a Windows XP machine with a copy of Access 2010.
Thanks in advance
