Hi, I am having a bug w/ Access 2003 Package Wizard. It creates the setup.exe file fine, but when I run the setup.exe on another computer (Windows 2000), it does not run. I know why: I create the setup.exe in Windows XP and my target computer is Windows 2000. So, the shortcut name is...

Hi, This group seems pretty knowledgeable.... do you know how to make the runtime the default? I've used Access Package Wizard and it does not work for me. I'm creating the setup.exe on Windows XP, and my target app is Windwos 2000, and it creates the setup.exe fine, but when I run the...

ESquared, How do you create a self-extracting zip file? any knowledge-base articles on this? I too am ready to pull my hair out. Access Package Wizard is very buggy, I have Windows XP and it doesn't work when I install my app on windows 2000. I've thought about using SageKey, their package...

Hi, InstallShield 4.0 Express asks me to include my Access "redistributable disk image", provided w/ Access 2003 Developer Extensions I guess. Does anyone know exactly what they mean by the "redistributable disk image"??? Is this one file? several files? is it the ACCESSRT.MSI Windows...

I had the same problem; when you choose "english", then you have to browse for the Access SETUP.exe file - so go to where you have Access installed, click on the setup.exe file, then click on "Cache", and it should work OK. I think you have to look for the access 2003 setup.exe file, not the...

Hi, I ran the 2003 Access Package Wizard and it created the setup.exe file fine. But, when I copied the setup.exe to a CD and tried to run the setup.exe on another computer that does not have Access, I received the following error msg: "settings file d:/files/setup/setup.ini is missing or...

I do plan on having them run the Access DB and SQL Server on the same machine..... so all I would have to do is specify "Data Source=Local" in my connection string? Thanks, Christy.

MoLaker, Having an Access back-end is not an option for larger clientelle.

Hi, I want to replicate my Access front-end, SQL-server back-end application, so that I can distribute to other locations. The app is stand-alone for each user; different data. Right now my Access app works with SQL server DEVELOPER edition, and my question is, how do I configure my Access...

Hi, would I use this function: bfGetODBCConnect() if I want to replicate my Access/SQL-server app STRUCTURE, not data, in other locations? I need to connect to the person's server w/o hard-coding the connection string. thanks! christy.

Hi, I want to create an Access front-end w/ SQL server back-end. Right now I have SQL server Development version and have set up my server name as "cwsqlserver". My question is: if I were to try to replicate this system on another machine, with a real version of SQL Server 7.0, how would the...
