Hi Chad, The location of system.mdw is defined globally on the server. From memory (don't have system with access 97 available) you're looking at HKLM\Sofware\MIcrosoft\Office\8.0\\Access\Jet\3.5\Engines, systemdb. Just change the systemdb value to h:\windows\system.mdw (provided h:\ is users home drive) and add a line in usrlogon.cmd: if not exist h:\windows\system.mdw copy %systemroot%\system32\system.mdw <file://\\system.mdw> h:\windows regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schneider, Chad M Sent: Wednesday, 2 November 2005 2:56 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Content Redirection Now....1 user has access open, another tries to open access (97), issue with the C:\xxxxx\system.mdw. I forget, what do I do with that so multi-users can use Access on the server? ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Evan Mann Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 8:12 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Content Redirection Good thing I opted to not install it. I have 3 users who need it, and I would have limited them to 1 server. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schneider, Chad M Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 9:11 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Content Redirection Issue we have found, running 5 instances of Access 97 can bury a server. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Evan Mann Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 7:51 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Content Redirection Efficient from the aspect of the guys who run the servers, but from the guys who are making DB's and using Access heavily, 97 is much quicker. As for running 2 versions, it's easy to do when your talking Access97. You need to install it after 2003 and then change the MDB associates back to 2003 as you please. I have decided not to install 97 on my servers for the 3 users that need it, but I have the option of letting them still run it on their desktops becaue they are fat clients. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schneider, Chad M Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 8:31 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Content Redirection Thanks. If I had a choice, it would be ONLY be Access 2003, as it is MUCH more efficient than 97. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Wood Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 7:22 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Content Redirection Don't think so - Server to Client is only for URLs I suppose you could publish the content. This isn't pretty mind - easier to live with the Access on the server. If you're concerned about running different versions of Access on a single box do some searches through Rick's posts - -he's described some neat methods of getting multiple versions of access running on the same server for users. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schneider, Chad M Sent: 01 November 2005 13:12 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Content Redirection I have an application that pulls MDB's. Rather than have Access (97 is required) on the server, I would like to use content redirection so that if an MDB is encountered, it attempts to open with the local install of Access on the client machine. Is this possible? ##################################################################################### This e-mail, including all attachments, may be confidential or privileged.
