I have been testing Application Server 6 and the new build of the client (419).
The problem:
When in Access 2003 as a Published App, I have no problem opening any databases.
When I use Windows Explorer as a Published App, go to a directory where the Access 2003 database is located and attempt to open it, I get the following message:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access this item."
I can open all other files e.g., Excel, Word, .pdf, etc...through Explorer, just not Access 2003 databases.

Any help\suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi there,

I you connect with MS Client, open Windows Explorer, go to a directory where the Access 2003 database is located and open it, do you get the same message??

The app works in the following scenarios:

Through a regular RDP session to the server (bypassing 2X), in Windows Explorer, clicking on and opening Access database works.

Through a 2X published "Desktop" , then opening Windows Explorer in the session, clicking on and opening Access database works.

Through a 2X published "Access 2K3" app, clicking on and opening Access database works.

Through 2X published "Windows Explorer" app, attempt to open an Access database does not work.....results in the error message described previously.

I apologize for being slow on my reply, I was waiting for a notification e-mail that my inquiry was being replied to, but I never received one....I just happened to login this morning and check.
