Hello,
I am trying to set up an RDP connection - to a Terminal Server - so a program will start automatically upon connection - from the programs tab of the RDP client (sse attached - startprog file). The program I want to start is MS Access. I cannot make it work. My path and program name are fine. I can start Word - did that as a test, that works no problem. Cannot get Access to start. Initially I received an error message - MSVCR80.dll not found. Not sure what that meant but, I have another Terminal server - both running Office PRO 2007 - so I tried connectiong to it, and run Access at connect- it worked fine.
So, I then searched the first machine for the file MSVCR80.dll - could not find it. Searched the second machine and file was found at C:\Windows\System32. Figured, what the heck, I will copy the file from the 2nd machine to the 1st and see what happens. Tried again and got a message - missing MSVCP80.dll. Copied it across. Tried again, now I get a runtime error - see attached.
Anyone else see this problem. And, is there an easy solution - I hope?

I tried, but it did not work. See attached files
initialize fail
runtime error
I tried surrounding the command in quotes - then it says it cannot find the file.
I read the article referenced in the link...not quite understanding all of that. I will look at it some more but, I still would like to understand why I cannot open the MS Access program at connect on this terminal server.
