Can't launch file by double clicking it on a network share

[Guest David]

So we installed a new 2003 terminal server with Office 2007. We can launch

Access by double clikcing the mdb file on the local system, we can start

Acess and load a database from a network location, but if we double click a

mdb file on a network share, nothing. We can righ click the mdb and chose

open, nothing.

 

Can someone clue me in as to what might be happening?

 

Thanks

David

I don't know if this holds true for Access 2007 databases, but we've had a

similar problem when opening Access 2003 databases from a network share.

Direct opening (by doubleclicking on the file) of MDB-files seems to be

blocked by the 'Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration'. Once

this component was uninstalled through Add/Remove Programs > Windows

Components the problem went away.

 

Maybe this works for you too.

Thanks Johnathan,

 

Worked perfect after removing the IE security component.
