mdb format and Access 2007
in [General]
|
From: FL on 21 May 2010 12:22 I opened my FE mdb database (2000-2003) using Access 2007. Tried to make a form with buttons that open other forms. The buttons to not run. I did the same test with the mdb converted to accdb format and the buttons do open forms as expected. Any idea why I loose some design change abilities while using the .mdb format in Access 2007? I'm not ready to convert the database to .accdb yet and would like to continue use of the .mdb for a while longer. -- FL
From: Douglas J. Steele on 21 May 2010 14:11 Is the MDB file in the same folder as the ACCDB file? If not, is the folder where the MDB file is set up as a Trusted Location? -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://www.AccessMVP.com/DJSteele (no e-mails, please!)

From: FL on 21 May 2010 15:20 Douglas, Thank you for the reply. Yes, I have the converted accdb in the same folder but renamed the file. Is this still a problem? I'll create and move the accdb to another location. Also, how do I verify and set up the Trusted location? Thanks -- FL "Douglas J.

From: Douglas J. Steele on 21 May 2010 17:14 The name shouldn't matter, just the folder location. To trust your folder, click: a.. Office Button (top left) b.. Access Options (bottom of dialog) c.. Trust Center (left) d.. Trust Center Settings (button) e.. Trusted Locations (left) f.. Add new location (button) -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://www.AccessMVP.com/DJSteele (no e-mails, please!)
