MS Access Forum / Multiuser / Networking / May 2007Unable to open BE
I have windows updates set to update automatically. When I came in today there were a ton of new updates installed. Since the update I have not been able to open my BE Database. The FE opens fine, but the BE doesnt open at all. Does anyone else have this problem? I forgot to mention, I'm using Vista and Access 2003 > I have windows updates set to update automatically.

What happens if you open Access and then navigate to the BE? Or navigate using Windows Explorer to the BE on the server and open it.

I have gone into my task manager to see if access was open in the processes and it was not. I have narrowed it down to the vista security update and not the office update. I have had to uninstall the vista security update to get back into the BE. Any suggestions? > >I have windows updates set to update automatically.

Open Access without open any file and turn off macro securty. Then you should be able to open the files. There is some thing in the BE file, it does not like. > In every instance it the vista waiting circle appears for about 1 second and > then nothing.

Is there an off in macro security, because all I could find was high, medium, and low. Would reinstalling office help becuase I'm 3 days into not building a new table that I need to build? > I am running Access 2007 on XP and have see the same default behavior. > It is the secury updates.

The best is disable all with notification, until you can get the project signed. It halts operations and asks the user if they want to run the macros. I started on Access 2.0 and used it a few times when I had too. I got more involved in Word and Excel, "Burr" an Excel Database. I spent more time explaining to the users why not to use sort and restoring corrupt files then coding. If you can switch to Access 2007, it has a few new tricks and the runtime will be out next month and it will be "free" > > I tried turning the macro level to low, and still I get the same issue, the > > file just wont open.

Copy the FE and BE to a thumb drive and find an "old" PC with XP with Access. An see if it open there, also did you check Visa the systems and applacation logs for any message when you tried to open the file? > If you can switch to Access 2007, it has a > few new tricks and the runtime will be out next month and it will > be "free" Next month?
