Hello,

I am just wondering if anyone can help answer my
question. It has been puzzling me for days now.

I have made an application in Access 2003, and with the
developer tools, I have made a runtime for it. I
installed this on a laptop (that already had AC2000 full
on it), and I am having great problems.

It works, until I go to run the AC2000 again, then next
time I try and run the AC2003 database on there, it tries
opening it in AC2000, and flies off the handle with
errors.
I then have to reinstall access 2003 runtime, or repair
the installation, then it works fine again.
Alternatively, if I right click on the shortcut to the
db, I can goto Open With > Microsoft Office Access, and
that then works.

How can I make it know which program to open it in?

Thank you in advance, VERY much!

Create a shortcut that explicitly points to the Access 2003 runtime and
always use it to open your Access 2003 application.

The shortcut needs to be along the lines of:

"full path to msaccess.exe" "full path to mdb file"
