[AccessD] Windows installer runs on list item click

Hi Jim

I've seen this for Word when both Word 2000 and Word 97 are installed.
Whenever Word 97 has run, next time you launch Word 2000 it fires the
installer - and will continue to do so until you allow it to finish.

I think I read somewhere it has do with the file extensions; Word 2000
demands to have doc files associated which Word 97 wishes too (and
carries out quietly when launched).

Perhaps your affected clients are running older versions of Access?
