"The attached database could not be upgraded to the current version. Could not open attached database ..." (version 7 only)
This error can occur because the version 7 installation must be carried out by a Windows system administrator, but your normal user account does not have administrator rights. The Toolkit folder is created by the system administrator during installation, but the user account has no access rights to the installation folder.
Remedy
Under Windows XP you may need to disable simple file sharing in order to see the advanced file security settings. To disable simple file sharing:
Applications may fail to start correctly after installing Office 2000 or Office XP. You may see the error:
"You do not have permission to convert or enable the database"
This error occurs because the default Office 2000/XP installation code removes all trace of earlier versions of Access. Although you may want the new version of Office to remove Office 97, unfortunately it also removes the run-time version of Access that the application uses.
To prevent this from happening, choose Custom Installation of Office. Then ensure that you uncheck the option to remove earlier versions of Microsoft Access.
If you have already installed Office 2000/XP and have lost the run-time version of Access 97, follow the instructions below.
