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

The tool does not seem to work. I drop a MDB (or XLS, or DOC, or TXT) file on it and a dialog appears with a title bar, and OK button and nothing else: running Win XP SP2.

Debug.Print SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessDir) works fine though.

That's because I put a comma instead of a dot in the URL after www.
