Has anyone had any issues with Access 2003 with windows Vista?
Everytime i open Access i get windows installer running. When i try to
create a new report, I get "Installing Microsoft Access Feature". Then
when i try to create a report from the wizard, or any other way, i can
not add the fields that i want.
This issue is happening through out Office 2003 as well.
This should no keep recurring, unless you have multiple versions of Office
installed and keep switching between them.
You could try creating a Run As Admin shortcut to msaccess.exe, and see if
that sorts it out. Details:

I only have one version of Office on this PC. The only other thing
that i can think of is that i upgraded from Windows XP pro to Vista
Business.
Did the RunAsAdmin shortcut help?

No it did not work. I had to re-install Vista as a full install and
then re-install Office. Now it works just fine. Thanks for your help
though.
