access and visual basic 2005

Guest

I am teaching at a school which has used Access for some time. Recently I
asked the technicians to install visual basic 2005 and I was warned it might
cause problems with other software programs. Unfortunately we cannot get
Access to run - visual basic runs fine.

Is this a known problem or am I unlucky?

Installing VB2005 causes problems with other software? Whatever that
software could be, it is unlikely MS Access. Access has nothing to do with
VB2005 (or any other VS .net family product): they are installed in
different location/folder and do not share files to each other. Find other
reason for not running Access (or are you talking an specific Access
application, or MS Access itself not running?).

What happens? Is there an error message?

Thanks for your time Norman and Tony.

Tony, our problem is that MS Access will not start when we click on the
icon ( no error message appears). Access did work before the technicians
installed a new image containing visual basic 2005 on the networked machines.
The two programs seem happy on a couple of stand alone machines so I assume
it is a problem with the image used.

I have no problem running Access 2003 and Access 2007 on a PC that has
Visual Studio 2005 installed, so I would say yes, the problem probably lies
with the image the technicians installed.
