Packaging Solution Wizard Problem

[lcox400w]

I just created my first package using the wizard and ran into a problem.

Before I ran the wizard, I turned the access 2007 database into a ACCDE
file. I then ran the wizard adn selected teh ACCDE file along with the
install of the access runtime.

The package was created without any problem. I installed it on another PC
which has access 2000 and it installed the runtime as well.

I select the icon for the ACCDE which is changed to ACCDR by the wizard and
the runtime starts up and I get a pretty screen, but no database ever opens
up.

I can see the ACCDR file is installed where it should be. I cant seem to
figure out what went wrong....

Anyone got a tip for me?

thx

Do you have a startup form or an autoexec macro?

<shrug> Been there, done that, got the T shirt.

And if that's your biggest mistake you're doing a lot better than me.
