SYMPTOMS
When you run Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0 under Microsoft
Windows NT 3.51, you may receive the following error message when you try
to convert a database:
Can't run 16-bit Windows program.
Cannot find file c:\MSOffice95\Access\Msacnv30.exe -r
c:\Winnt35\~tmp2424.244 (or one of its components). Check to ensure the
path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are
available.
Microsoft Access failed to enable or convert your code modules. Your
computer may be low on disk space or memory.
CAUSE
A folder (or directory) name in the path for Microsoft Access is
longer than 8 characters, for example, c:\Msoffice95\Access or
c:\office\Msaccess95.
RESOLUTION
Run the Microsoft Access Setup program (Setup.exe) to uninstall Microsoft
Access. Then, run Setup again, and install Microsoft Access in a new folder
with a name of 8 characters or fewer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access 7.0. This
problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access 97.
