Have you tried running the application on a PC without ANY version of
Office installed? If the application runs w/o Office installed try
running the application after installing all MS Office applications
EXCEPT MS Access. If that works then you can either:
1. Leave the system set up without MS Access installed. This works if
your customer doesn't need MS Access for any other application.
2. See if there is some way to install/configure MS Access so it
doesn't try to automatically upgrade existing databases.
If neither of these solutions are available then your customer has a
serious problem because it sounds like the vendor set up the database
application with specific user level permissions. This means you have
to know the correct administrative user id and password for the specific
database if you want to upgrade/modify the application. Since it
doesn't sound like the vendor provided this information to your customer
as part of delivering the system then your customer is probably out of
luck.

I tried the MS Access Runtime 2007 but couldn't get too far with that.
I installed the MS Access Runtime 2000 and can get the app to start and
I can try to login but then I get an error of:
"The current user account doesn't have permissions to covert or enable
this database".
From looking online, most of the solutions I can find say to start the
d/b in the old version of Access and then convert it to the new version.
Except I don't have the software from the old versions of Access. MS
Office 2000 is the oldest we have here as the older stuff is no longer
here.
