Problem wiht Access runtime on W2003 server

I managed to install the access runtime [I use Office XP Developer] on
windows server 2003, but if I try to open an .mdb database only a window
shows up with a few menu options and nothing else. The same window shows if I
start access.exe but with a comment that a file should be selected. I tried
to install database and runtime with the packaging wizard and also the
runtime with the .msi package in both cases the installation worked fine.

It sounds as though the application may not have been properly designed to
be used as a runtime application. Since the runtime has some of its
functionality disabled, you must ensure that the application traps all
errors, and anticipates problems.
