Version Can't be loaded on terminal Server

[Richard]

I am currently running Windows Server 2003. I have MS office basic 2003
loaded on the server. I bought the Access 2007 upgrade. When I try to open
Access on the server I get an error message saying that this version is will
not run a terminal server. I seem to meet all the requirements listed. Any
ideas?

Thanks,

Your A2007 upgrade will work fine on Windows XP or Windows Vista.
However, due to MS licensing issues you aren't allowed to install it
on Windows 2003 Terminal Server. You must purchase some kind of
volume license version of Access/Office 2007.

Using the A2007 runtime on TS might be away around this issue but I'm
not sure.

No I don't. Some MVP posted a link a while back explaining all this
but I didn't save it.

Fortunately I'm a somewhat decent searcher.

It's the Enterprise version, no?

Thanks, I could really use that!

Not sure. See the links on my other posting.
