when i double-click a .mdb file, the file opens as does
Access but NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!
this is also the case if the file is opened thru a
shortcut.

in other words, the .ldb is created and MSACCESS.EXE shows
up in task manager but the Access window never opens. when
i say the Access window i do NOT mean the Database Window
but literary, the Access Workspace Window.

i have had this happen on many different computers in many
different offices.

this does NOT happen if Access is opened 1st, then i use
File - Open to open the file.

i can NOT upgrade to XP or 2003 (for reasons not worth
getting into) and using the File - Open is NOT feasible.

i have been dealing with for many years and have NEVER
found any info on the web, including the MS Knowledge Base.
 
Sounds like a problem we had with MS photoeditor. If you see the MS Access
in your taskbar, click right mouse on it and choose MAXIMISE. If it then
fills the screen, again in the taskbar click right mouse and choose tile
windows. When you close the programme and restart it the problem should be
solved.
