ACC97: Removing Earlier Version Components Deletes Files on Server (163841)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Access 97
This article was previously published under Q163841
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

SYMPTOMS

If you have a workstation installation of Microsoft Access 2.0 or 7.0, and you choose to remove components from the earlier 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 the earlier 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.

MORE INFORMATION

The following files are removed from the server:
