[AccessD] Office on a server - where did it go?

Maybe this would tell you where it is: 

Private Sub AccessLocation()

    Dim stgLocation As String
    
    stgLocation = SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessDir)
    
End Sub

HTH!

Subject: [AccessD] Office on a server - where did it go?

One client has a server running Windows 2003 and SQL Server as a BE to
various Access FEs.  I was 
brought back in to this client because the company that did the conversion
from Access BE to SQL 
Server was not doing what they said they would do.  Anyway...

I use VPN and remote desktop to remote in to the server.  It is my dev
machine simply because they 
do not have another machine to set me up on.

My problem is that they installed Office on this thing (I guess), or at
least I can use office on 
this thing but I cannot FIND the actual office install.  In order to get a
/decompile going I need 
to use a shortcut to the actual Access EXE and then use the /Decompile
switch.  Or at least that is 
how I know to do it.

Since I cannot find the exe on the machine I am unable to do this.  Needless
to say, Decompile is 
rather important.

I think what is going on is that the office was made part of a domain that
exists at another office. 
  As such I am guessing that my user is "virtual" or whatever you call it,
and thus it can use 
office even though it is actually installed somewhere else, probably in that
other office.

Has anyone ever run into this?
