This is usually caused by not having MS Access 2000 installed on your computer or the MS Access Runtime. Even if you have MS Office installed or use the Microsoft Operating System, this does not mean that you automatically have Microsoft Access installed. You must have either MS Access 2000 or greater installed or download the free MS Access 2000 Runtime directly from our website. You can download MS Access Runtime 2000 directly from our website. Note: If you are using MS Access 97, there are special instructions which must be followed to load the MS Access Runtime 2000 with MS Access 97. You can review this information directly from the Access information section of our website.
