Access runtime 2003 compatability question

[TwdCncl01]

Hi there,
Need urgent help we have to use the Access runtime 2003 software because of an older SQL database we have in use. We are now upgrading computers to Office 2007 only word, excel, outlook and powerpoint. However we are getting errors on the ODBC settings for our database. Can we have Access runtime 2003 installed with Office 2007.



The error we are getting is "Could not load the setup or translator library.

Do older versions of the Access runtime not work with Office 2007. Searched the web and found an article that suggested

• Incorrect registry settings for MDAC components.
• Incompatible .dll files.

Could this be that Access runtime 2003 does not work with Office 2007. We have had office 2003 for years but its time to upgrade but we cannot change the access runtime yet.
thanks

I have many clients with all the PCs in their office are running Office 29007 standard or Pro with the Access 2003 runtime.

I also have several client's where all the computers are running my Access 2003 MDE front end with the Access 2007 SP2 runtime.

You might consider using Virtual PC or something like that to set up a test environment.
