Customized Setting For Access Reverts Back to Original
ID: Q132707
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1
SYMPTOMS
After you distribute a package with Systems Management Server containing
Microsoft Access 2.0, customize the toolbar settings, and exit and restart
Access, the customized toolbar settings are not available. PGC resets the
Access toolbar settings every time Access runs.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the SystemDB entry in MSACC20.INI points to the
SYSTEM.MDA file on the distribution server. Even after you manually
change the entry to point to the local SYSTEM.MDA file (which contains
the customized toolbar settings), the entry is changed automatically to
point to the SYSTEM.MDA file on the distribution server when you run
Access.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:
- Modify the SMSSHARE.STF file in the SMSPROXY subdirectory of the
Microsoft Access package directory on the Systems Management Server
(distribution server). Change:
%s\system.mda (line 88)
%s\workdir\system.mda (line 89)
%s\system.mda (line 761)
to:
%1\system.mda (for all three lines)
- In the MSACC20.INI file, change the SystemDB entry to:
[Options]
SystemDB=<local drive>:\ACCESS\SYSTEM.MDA
- Do one of the following, depending on the network operating system
your client computer is using:
Windows NT Client
