RE: [AccessDevelopers] 2007 vs XP - puzzled??? help!!!

 

sgk_job,
 
Can you tell us what you mean by "locked up all of Access"? Does everyone have their own copy of the front end file? Did you set the front end folder as trusted?
 
Have you tried running the older version (pre modification) to see if it still works?
 
Have you tried other very basic Access apps?

Hello,
I have not been on this site for a while.  I am doing some volunteer work on an access 2007 mdb which I am getting used to.  Today I modified a couple of forms and had absolutely no problem in test in access 2007 on windows xp.  I did not know that this shop had one pc with windows 7 (used by the manager) and all the other pcs had XP.  Now here's where it got wierd. 
The volunteer mdb is on a LAN  (ok - no problem).  It works on all the pcs with XP but LOCKED UP ALL OF ACCESS on the pc with WINDOW 7.  I could not get into access at all on that computer windows 7.  This was all working before I made this change!!!  <ouch>
I think this must have something to do with security??  you would think it would be the other way around, that
a modificaton on windows 7 would not work on the younger version.  It looks like access will need to be reinstalled on the 'volunteer' pc with windows 7. 
More info, the 2007 mdb has a security prompt which I needed to click to enable me to make the changes to the mdb.    entitled SECURITY WARNING.  All who use this should know what I'm talking about.
In my test mdb, I just ignored it and all worked.  But I need to click the 'enable' button to modify the volunteer mdb  and I do not know why?
I clicked the Open Trust Center in both mdb (my simple test one and the volunteer one) and the settings are identicle.  I have windows 7 on my desktop.
 
I know, you always should have the same operating system to avoid problems but it worked before on both versions??
 
Has anyone encountered this issue?  Any clue?  Is using access 2007 on 2 diff versions of windows error prone?
When I worked I always insisted that everyone work on the same operating system at the same time.
Non profits can be a mess.
