ACC1x: Cue Cards Cannot Be Started from Workstation

ID: Q97625


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1


SYMPTOMS

When you try to run Cue Cards from a workstation set up for a network installation of Microsoft Access, you receive the following error message:

Cue Cards Couldn't Be Started Because of Incomplete Setup.


CAUSE

Microsoft Access has been set up to run from a network drive and the path used to execute MSACCESS.EXE uses the universal naming convention (UNC).


RESOLUTION

For Cue Cards to run on a workstation, the path used to execute MSACCESS.EXE from Program Manager must use the complete conventional path, including the drive letter. To correct this problem, use the following steps:

  1. In Program Manager, select the Microsoft Access icon.


  2. From Program Manager's File menu, choose Properties.


  3. In the Command Line text box, type the complete path, including the drive letter for MSACCESS.EXE (for example, F:\ACCESS\MSACCESS.EXE).



STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.
