1. &nbsp;Have you tried running the app with a different version of Access? &nbsp;What happens?<br />
2. &nbsp;Are you sure the app is written in Access and not just using a Jet database? &nbsp;Way too many people don't know the difference. &nbsp;If the app is not an Access database, then all you need to install is Jet and there is a free download for that if it is not installed with your operating system.<br />

I've run lots of A2003 applications using A2007 and A2010 without a problem.

Downgrade Access 2007 to 2003

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
