ACC97: Removing Earlier Ver. Components Deletes Files on Server

• Microsoft Access 97

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

If you have a workstation installation of Microsoft Access 2.0 or 7.0, and you choose to remove components from previous versions when you install Microsoft Access 97 locally, some Microsoft Access 2.0 or 7.0 files are removed from the server. The administrative setup on the network server no longer works.

NOTE: This does not occur if the user who is installing Microsoft Access 97 locally does not have permission to delete the files from the administrative installation folder on the server.

RESOLUTION

You must remove the damaged administrative installation on the network server and reinstall it.

If you want to avoid deleting files from the server, do not select to remove previous version components when you run Microsoft Access 97 Setup, or verify that you do not have permission to delete files on the server before you begin.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access 97. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The following files are removed from the server:
