OFF95: Workstation "Remove All" Does Not Remove MS Access Link

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Access shortcut is left on the Programs menu after you run Microsoft Office 95 Professional Setup and choose "Remove All" in maintenance mode.

CAUSE

The section of code in the "Remove All" option of Microsoft Office 95 Professional that deletes the link files from the Windows Start menu is unmodified from Office 95 Standard. Because Microsoft Office Standard does not ship with Microsoft Access, there is no code in the Setup program for removing the Microsoft Access link.

RESOLUTION

To remove the Microsoft Access link, follow these steps:

1. In Windows Explorer, double-click the Windows folder.

2. Double-click the Start Menu folder.

3. Double-click the Programs folder.

4. In the Programs folder, using the right mouse button, click the Microsoft Access link file, and then click Delete on the menu that appears.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
