dao3.6 in windows7 , How to install the right Version on Windows 7
I have a Strange Problem
MSAccess 2002 Application that Runes with DAO3.6
is working fine on all Windows OS
But I have a problem with one windows 7 32Bit
I get strange Problems with the Database
I checked all references and there is a Problem with the DAO reference
As I checked more I see that the
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\DAO\dao360.dll
Version on this machine is 3.60.9756.0
I check the version on other Windows7 and the version is higher
I tried to use regsvr32 /u C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\DAO\dao360.dll
And to delete the file, but I can't do this I get error message that the file is in use
Any solutions?

Did you shut down all Office apps before trying the delete? Personally, I would not delete but rather rename or move.

I found How to delete
it seems that windows 7 dosent give you ownership on all the files
So I took ownership and change security so I can delete the file

I would also STRONGLY encourage you to not arbitrarily delete/rename important files like this. Intstead, use the various upgrade options to insure that you're running the most current Windows updates, Office updates, etc etc.

I tried But It Dosen't work
All the research on the web states that Access 2002 is incompatible with Windows 7.

One guy found a solution here at the following url: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f217/solved-accessing-old-access-2002-database-within-windows-7-a-531311.html
But its not concrete which solution worked for him - its either using Open Office or installing an old Office XP or newer version of Access to open the file in Windows 7?
Another solution somewhere was updating the Novell software for their network but doesn't say client or server? So not sure if you have that or not...
Then finally...
I would even see if you can go to the working Windows where the file works - save down to another version of Access for the file - even if it could be Office XP or earlier - compact and repair the results - it then transfer it over and see if it works in Windows 7.

Hmmm ... I overlooked the 2002 tag. Stephen is right - 2002 is NOT supported on Windows 7, so understand that any fix you come up with would be subject to failure due to future updates, service packs, etc etc. You would be much better off installing a supported version of Access and use that.
That said: You might be able to use XP Mode for the Windows 7 box, or try to set the Compatibility Mode for that specific version of msaccess.exe to see if you can get things to work

I'm sorry to post this again but maybe lost in the translation above...
I would try to save down the Access version to Access 97 or if possible (I could be wrong in this) Office XP version is that available, not sure? Just try anything other than Access 2002 and then do a compact and repair after. Then try that version on Windows 7 to see if it works.

Interesting!
I'm curious as to what version of Windows 7 it is? Is it Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Home?

It terms out that the same customer has 5 windows7 pc
3 Worked OK from the start (thay were new) 2 didn't work
I suspect that another installation of aold application overwrite DAO dll's and made all the problem
