msaccess 2000

[Guest]

What processes run with the initial startup of msaccess.exe. We are running
AD group policies with run only allowed Windows applications and need to know
what processes to allow to run.

I guess you can find this out by looking at the Processes tab of the Windows
Task Manager just before opening Access and compare the the list of
processes after opening Access.

I think at the start, it will only be MSAccess.exe ( + loads of DLLs) but
then Access can open other processes later, e.g. automation.

I've tried that but haven't been able to pinpoint another process that
starts. I do see AgentSrv.exe start on the initial start of Access, but I've
put that in the allowed list and it still isn't working.

AgentSrv.exe is not part of Access AFAIK. I don't even have this file on my
computer using WinXP & AccessXP.

You may need to get the person who set this restriction up to investigate
for you since he is likely to have tools that can help.
