The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you start Microsoft Access, you receive the error message
 
   Can't open file 'C:\ACCESS\WZLIB.MDA'
 
followed by similar messages for the other Microsoft Access Wizard files.
Finally you receive the error message:
 
   Some library modules could not be loaded. Click OK or press ENTER to
   continue
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Microsoft Access needs to open the Wizard files (files with names beginning
with "WZ and ending with ".MDA") in read/write mode. If these files cannot
be opened in read/write mode, Microsoft Access returns the error messages
stated above.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Make sure that the Wizard files can be opened in read/write mode by
checking the following items:
 
 - Make sure that the Read Only property is not set for any of the
   Wizard files using File Manager.
 
 - Make sure that the Wizard files are not in a read-only drive or
   directory.
 
 - Make sure that you have write permission on the Wizard files.
 
Note that when Microsoft Access is installed on a network, Setup places
files that cannot be read-only in the WORKDIR subdirectory.
