Well, I'd do my part, but the *%^ing Verizon site won't allow me to add the DVR option when ordering FIoS. It always errors out saying that the number of set top boxes doesn't match the number of TVs to be connected (it does). I've tried it both IE and Firefox. And of course, the sales

Is there software that would make it not recognize DVDs while CDs mount OK? Unlikely, but I never say never when it comes to software or driver induced problems. Can you boot from a DVD containing the OS? That would rule this out. The problem could be accumulated dust or a hairball inside

She could boot from a DVD to upgrade the OS and install software. That was when the DVDs mounted. Great. You have established that: 1) The drive works 2) The drive is able to read DVD format Next thing to try is booting into safe mode (startup with shift key down). That should prevent any

The usual time I see this error is when you load a piece of software that emulates a CD. Something got loaded that is preventing the system fro reading/addressing the CD machine. Stewart At 09:20 AM 10/2/2008, you wrote: The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) This time, the

I've been through the MS newsgroups, but I'll wade through them again. The solutions that sound plausible involve getting the original version of access, although how do I go about finding that? The software was installed in 2001. Sending you the file is an interesting idea, but the file has

Didn't you just say you can open it on his old machine? Then can't you just export it as a csv? On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 11:38 AM, Larry Sacks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been through the MS newsgroups, but I'll wade through them again. The solutions that sound plausible involve getting the

I can open it on his old system *BUT* not by going directly into MS Access 2000. If I try to open it, I get the permissions error again. Instead I can open it via the shortcut. When this d/b delivered, it used the MS Access Runtime 2000 so you didn't have to have Access installed. Oh... and

2008-10-02 Thread Arnold Kee
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

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

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
