Re: Unable to access folder from A2003

I was having trouble copying the update file. There are no /excl switches
on my command lines.

Opening the app is not the issue as it opens fine. It is copying down the
updated app to overwrite the existing app that is the problem. The error
causes a failure in the copying. Thereafter, the existing (non-updated app)
opens just fine.

Thanks.

Ok, just to clarify, are you having problems copying the updated file or
opening your app once you've made sure that you have the most current file?

The command line will make a difference, especially if it has the /excl
switch on it. This opens the file exclusively. Where you looks in the
Options isn't what I was referring to. I was referring to the command line
used to open your app. It would be something like:

"<path>\msaccess.exe" "<path>\MyDatabase.mdb" /wrkrgp
"<path>\MyWorkgroup.mdw" /user UserName /pwd Password

What happens if you open the app without using the updater first, do the
problems go away? I suspect that the updater is locking the file for some
reason.

Thanks for the response:

Thank you for any ideas, suggestions,etc.
