Access2007 will not run accde

I am having a heck of a time getting past my latest snag with ACC2007.

I have placed the full development environment on both my home (development
PC) and the target (Win2003 server). During prototyping I would place a copy
of the full <prom.accede> onto the server and the Users could test and send
me feedback. These iterations worked well until last week. Any new
<prom.accede> now however will not run and there are no messages saying what
the problem is. The db fails to start but the Access home page comes up.
That's it.

I have not made any changes that would affect references, table layouts,
etc. I can't even hold the shift key and bypass the start form.

Has anyone any ideas as to what may be happening? Or perhaps there is a
runtime switch which will force Access to get verbose?

Thanks for your help.

I don't know if this applies to an .accde file (but I suspect it does)...

I ran into a similar situation a few years back where my (app's) users
suddenly couldn't get into the application. After three days of
trouble-shooting, I learned that the Network folks had changed permissions
on the folder/path that held the data, and effectively locked out the users.
They never really did have a good explanation for why, nor for why they
didn't bother telling anyone who might be affected...

Good luck!

Found the problem.
One of the "hidden" system tables had been deleted. Even though it is empty
(MSysAccessXML) it must be present for Access to load the database.
