Larry,
Suggestion 1)
Have you tried putting copies of the files from the old computer on the
new computer using the identical paths. This could solve your
permissions problem, as the program is searching for a file that it
can't find because it is in the wrong path.
"C:\Incident.Ora\SYSTEM.MDA"
"C:\Incident.Ora\Incident.mdb"
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Microsoft Access
Runtime\msaccess.exe" /runtime /wrkgrp "C:\Incident.Ora\SYSTEM.MDA"
"C:\Incident.Ora\Incident.mdb"
Suggestion 2)
Older versions of Access had very poor security, One need only import
the database files into an existing file and it would strip the security
out of the data, and let you work with the data in the new database.
Also I have MS Office 2000 Premium & Professional, and MS Office 97
Professional Edition(SP1&2 disks).

Assuming this is what you meant:
I changed the shortcut on my system to point to the latest version of MS Access (not the runtime) and included the rest of the goodies from the shortcut (basically invoke MS Access 2007 instead of the MS Access Runtime). When I do that, it actually loads the d/b and I'm prompted to enter the user-id.
However, when I do that (and the user-id/password combination is correct), I get "The current user account doesn't have permission to convert or enable this database."
And yes, I've tried it as local admin and domain admin.

Subject: [CGUYS] MS access problem
Hello all:
I believe that opening a runtime application will be successful if the
underlying code of the runtime application is compatible with the version of
access trying to open it. But the best chance I believe is to open the latest
version of access possible and then to point to the mdb file target.
Let us know how it works out.
Thanks, Arnold
