    Windows 7 .bat issues


    I'm an Access 2007 developer, and recently a .bat file that we have used for years is giving us trouble, but only for Windows 7 users.

    The .bat file is:

    MKDIR C:\Database
    COPY \\serverURL\databaseName.accdb C:\Database\databaseName.accdb
    START "MSAccess.exe" C:\Database\databaseName.accdb
    Exit

    We have c:\Database setup as a Trusted Location.

    Basically what we have is a Front End Back End set up. The user double clicks the .bat file and it copies the Frontend to the users computer and then opens it. My windows 7 users will run the .bat and login to the database and then whatever button they click, they get a message telling them that they have lost connection with the server and the database closes.

    It only occurs to the Windows 7 users. The XP users have no issues with it. The .bat file has worked like a charm for over 5 years. Since the company is slowly switching everyone to Win 7, I need to find a solution to this issue.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

    Are you executing the .bat file with elevated permissions?

    No I'm not. Since we dont have Admin privileges for the Windows 7 computers, is there another way around this?
