I have an access 2016 database that im creating and it works fine on my computer and a colleagues computer.
It doesnt work on the computers of the people im making it for.
They have access 2016.
They try to open the database and it just opens the create a new database menu. Nothing comes up at all.
They can open other databases but just not mine.
2 people on 2 machines tried it
I tried to load everything into a new fresh database and it didnt work.
Also I ensured only the default references were used.
Has anyone experienced this problem?

Basically the title says it all. I’ve been trying to make it so my friends can use my apps i made in visual studio but it never works because (a guess) they cant connect to the database because it connects to local host. Any help will be appreciated!
I am having an issue for Mysql for Excel plugin, when I first installed it, it was showing my local connections, etc. I shut the programs and re-opened it and it has refused to show anything since then, it does not show local connection or remote connection - but everything is working well from MYSQL Benchmark, I can see all the connections, etc, but the plugin in excel is just blank grey screen - as shown in the screenshot, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both my excel and the plugin, still giving the same error, any ideas or help will be appreciated
Working solution from https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=96047
Simply start up Excel, click on File at the top left, click on Options
at the bottom left, select General in the Excel Options dialog and
under User Interface Options select Optimize for Compatibility, click
OK and restart Excel. Your connections should now appear.
Eureka Eureka I found it
The same thing has happened to me. It was working and then the next time no connections. I have spent hours and days and weeks trying to get it to work again. After weeks of trying, I found the solution.
Apparently, Microsoft did a security upgrade to Excel.
Solution:
File
Options
Trust Center
Trust Center Settings....
Uncheck Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet.
apparently all of Mysql bugs relating to this say that you can fix this by updating Microsoft Office. Go to File > Account > Update Now
I hope that helps
Forgive my vague wording on this (it is not my strong point).
Basically I am trying to run a site locally so in MACS host file I have set the URL to run locally and set the site up on MAMP.
This issue I am having is another user on this pc has left a connection running so when i look at any site locally it shows there site not mine.
They no longer work here so we do not have the password to access there account.
Is there a way to turn this off or overwrite this.
Once again
Sorry for vagueness
Thanks for any potential help in advanced.

i may be going about this the wrong way and would appreciate guidance on how it should be done. :)
I have a windows 7 computer on which i have installed thinVNC (Remote desktop application)
i liked it because its cross platform and does not need the clients to install anything on their devices to connect to the computer.They simply use a HTML 5 enabled browser to connect.
The purpose of this is so that they can get to a Microsoft access database on the computer, log in to it and perform some transactions.
Now, when one person logs in they see the desktop and interact with it and thats fine. However, when another person connects to the computer, they basically watch as the first user goes about using the database. Which i think is the purpose of this kind of software!
So i guess what i want is that each user gets their own fresh "session" if you like, like having the file on a network drive. So users connect to the computer,don't see others using the system and there's a folder where i have granted access to external users and placed the database in it. They will then doubleclick the file icon and be able to login etc.
So what is the best way to achieve this? ideally i don't want the user to have to install any software to be able to connect, but if its unavoidable then so be it.
thanks
Why not use Microsoft's built in remote desktop? There's a version for most (if not all) devices now and it would let you just setup multiple accounts on the Win 7 pc and get each user to log into them individually.
I use Dropbox for syncing my databases through my Macs(iMac & MBA). And also I've MAMP setup on both of my Macs.
It all works well except that when I create a MySQL database on my MBA for a Wordpress project of mine and then try to view the site on my iMac, I get the Wordpress installation screen even though I've successfully built the Wordpress project on my MBA before switching to my iMac.
After checking the database under my iMac, I saw that it was corrupted. The database was there but non of the tables were accessible. Then I switched back to my MBA and checked the same database there as well and it wasn't corrupted at all. It was all working fine and I was able to use the Wordpress project.
Therefore I built a test Wordpress project under my MBA again to check the database syncing and the exact same problem above happened again.
But the interesting thing is that when I start building a project on my iMac and then switch to my MBA, it all works fine in both machines.
It's really weird. Any ideas?
My first thought is line endings (or something similar). Could windows by using only /n while IOS (which is *nix based) be using /r/n ?
Another issue could be file permissions... windows is much more loose in relation to this. Do an LS with the appropriate flags and check if an execute (or some other permission) is missing.
Finally, I'd suggest you do the following:
Make one setup on windows, and one setup on mac (in 2 separate folders) containing the exact same data (etc) in the databases.
Then get a diff program (diffmerge, diff, beyond compare, etc), and compare the files to see what is different.
