    Access 2007 and Access 2003


    I have both Office 2007 and Access 2003, I also have a executable db file in Access 2003, but everytime I try to access the DB by launching the executable db I launches an installer but never open the DB, how may I solve this?


    Thanks in advance for the support.

    AFAIK, *no* version of Access db is capable of running without Access or at least the RunTime of Access. What do you have? What is the full name of the "executable db"?

    LaunchAccess.EXE is the Runtime of Access. Do you have any other version of Access installed on your machine too?

    Access 2003 and Access 2007 fight over registry entries. Do you have the full version of Access 2003? If so then load Access 2003 and then any other mdb you have and then exit. Then try the shortcut you have and see what happens.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
