runtime for access 2002

[andre]

I have installed runtime for access 2002 on a machine with
office xp, it opened the database that it was intended to
open, so I thought it was fine. But then I noticed that it
won't open the other existing databases. If someone could
help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in
advance.

You do realize that the Runtime is only really intended to be used with
"finished apps" right? Since there is no access to the db Window or any of the
normal interface tools (menubars, toolbars, etc.), then any file you open must
provide these or you will end up looking at a big gray window with nothing in
it.

If the file provides menus, toolbars, and/or a form at startup, then the Runtime
will give you the ability to do something with it. If it doesn't then you are
stuck.
