have a multi user access database with users that use access 2000, 2002,
2003 and now 2007

I compile (.mde) and distribute the front ends to each user. I compile with
2000 so it is compatible with all versions

I have a shared work group file that defines users and groups and which
access each has

Now I have a user upgraded to Access 2007, How do I get that user to join
the workgroup?

So for example I need to

open c:\program files\AccessMDE\production.mde
Using the shared workgroup S:\workgroup.mdw

Access is at c:\program files\Microsoft Office\office12\msaccess.exe

I have been getting strange file not found errors if I try to open any mdb
or mde

thanks

"c:\program files\Microsoft Office\office12\msaccess.exe" "c:\program
files\AccessMDE\production.mde" /wrkgrp S:\workgroup.mdw

Incidentally, you really should change where you're putting the mde file.
Under Vista and Win 7, Program Files won't allow the users to create the ldb
file.

Thanks it was the quotes in the first part that I missed

Some of my front ends work fine, one has serious compatibility problems,

Is there a newsgroup here that would be best to post to if I can't get those
solved?

microsoft.public.access.conversion would seem to be the logical one, but it
actually doesn't get that much traffic.

microsoft.public.access should be fine
