Timely thread... I have the same problem. I can't open/download any of them from any of my machines, regardless of Access version. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of John Clark Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 2:03 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] MS Templates I've got an odd problem for ya... If I go to Microsoft's Templates site on the Internet, I cannot download any Access templates, which are just MDBs. I get the message that, "Microsoft Access cannot be started. If you have this application installed on your computer, click the start menu, point to Programs and then click Microsoft Access to start the application and then download the template again." I do have Access installed (2K and 97), which I believe is probably part of the problem. I tried to do this from another PC in the office, which only has Access 2K, and it worked fine. I believe that they are identicle machines, so the problem must lie here. But, I also have a dual install of Excel (2K and 97), and I am able to download the Ecel templates just fine. I thought, maybe, like their message states, if I open Access first and then download, it would work. However it did not. I tried A97 alone, A2k alone, both of them open together...nada! Anybody know why? It isn't majorly important, but I would like it to work.
