Jones   Thanks very much for your response. In fact I did not see your reply when I reposted my question. I'll try your approach eventhough my work at the moment has come to a standstill.   Thanks   Liveson ----- Original Message ----- From: Jones, Glenn P MSG (Ret) FL-ARNG To: AccessDevelopers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 9:53 PM Subject: RE: [AccessDevelopers] Fw: [DevAccess] OPENING SELF EXTRACTING FILES Hi Liveson, I would either come off the money and buy additional copies (cheap) @ http://www.rarlab.com/  or WINZIP it and send it out.   You may also want to check for permissions associated with the file.   Glenn P.

I thought I should quote the entire error message. I'm desperate for a solution, right now I'm just waiting in case someone has a suggestion which may lead to a solution. The error message is "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."   Thanks   Liveson   ----- Original Message ----- From: Liveson Tumbulu To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 1:54 PM Subject: [DevAccess] OPENING SELF EXTRACTING FILES Hi Friends   Can you please help me? I frequently receive zipped databases from our satellite branches spread across the country. The databases are zipped using WinRar and are self-extracting. Of late when I just open the "exe" file I receive an error that Windows cannot access the file, etc, etc. Well, since I have WinRar installed on my pc I simply right-click on the file and select Extract. Now the problem is I've sent a file to someone on whose pc there is no WinRar and she is experiencing the same problem: Windows cannot access the file... Is there any solution? I'm completely stuck. I've tried WinZip without any success. This may not be the appropriate group but please help me nevertheless if you can. The operating system is Windows XP.   Thanks in advance   Liveson Tumbulu SDV Malawi Limited P O Box 838 Blantyre Tel : (265)-1-671555 Cell: (265)-9-957411 Fax: (265)-1-670240 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please zip all files prior to uploading to Files section.
