Error 1309 - Access run time file not found

[David Wheeler]

I installed Office 2000 onto my new PC running Windows XP Home.

I then installed a program that uses Access Run-Time.

Whenever I open an Office program I get a dialog box titled 'Microsoft
Access 2000 SR-1 Runtime' and the error:

"Error 1309: Error reading from file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\ART\PFiles\MSOffice\Office\MSACCESS.EXE

Verify that the file exists and that you can access it"

That folder doesn't exist, and I guess the Run-Time program was created long
before Windows XP. I used Office 2000 with the Run-Time program on my old
PC that had Windows ME and everything worked fine. There's something on the
Knowledge Base about a virus but I have checked and I don't have it.


Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

David Wheeler

I believe you need either Access2K installed, not part of Office2K - unless
you have Pro/Premium? version or the Access 2K runtime distributed with
Access2K developer
I'm not sure if the runtime is available via MS site/downloads.
Its possible if the App you are running was installed from a CD then the
runtime file may be contained in it, as to the best of my recollection it is
a freely distributable file.

Hi David,

Thanks for your message. I have Office 2000 Pro with Access.

The program that I want to use with Access 2000 installs its own Run Time
files, but it must install it in a different location under Windows XP than
it did in Windows ME, and can't find the right location.

I'll contact the program vendor as there may be an easy answer, I hope.

Best Regards,

David

You could try creating the folder / path, as outlined in the error msg, then
copying the file msaccess.exe to it
Must confess though I didnt think the runtime created a distributable file
of that name. ie same as the main Access App.
