Re: MsAccess necessary permission error message # 3033

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Where it says "path to msaccess.exe", put the path to wherever msaccess.exe
is located on your machine. For example, on my machine that's C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office.11\OFFICE11\msaccess.exe. Since there are blanks in
that path, it's necessary to enclose it in quotes:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office.11\OFFICE11\msaccess.exe"

The "\\CALLROOM\RPC\RPCaccess\something.mdw" is whatever your workgroup file
(the mdw associated with your application) is actually named.

O.K. Hopefully this will be my last few questions:) In the shortcut,
where I
put in "path to msaccess.exe" "\\CALLROOM\RPC\RPCaccess\RPC
Database10.28.05.mdb"
/wrkgrp "\\CALLROOM\RPC\RPCaccess\something.mdw", I have 2 questions:
1. Do I actually put "path to msaccess.exe", or do I just start with
"\\CALLROOM\RPC...
2. What is the "something" at the end of the path?

Thansk you so much for all your help!! If I can tell any of your superiors
how much I appreciate you, I'd like to.

Well, I'm glad that you can identify what's going on. That makes me
feel better. And I greatly appreciate your instructions, however, I
have a few more questions before I start this "fixit job". Please
see below questions...
1. How do I modify a shortcut?

Right-click the shortcut, and choose Properties. It'll open to the
shortcut
tab and the Target line will be highlighted. Edit that line.

2. In reference to this "You need to check the path to msaccess.exe
on your
local machine and substitute accordingly. And also the name of the
mdw."- how do I do this, and which machine is considered the "local"
machine. Is it tha main computer?

'local machine' means your computer (not the main one). If you go to
Start,
Search for file and folders, you can type msaccess.exe in the textbox for
'what to search for' - that will find the file and show you the path;
it's
likely something like
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\...

As for the name of the mdw, you didn't specify in your previous message,
what the name of the file is, just the folder. So look in
CALLROOM\RPC\RPCaccess\ or your M:\RPCaccess folder to find the name of
the
file.
