Hi all,

Some background:
we have a windows application (c#) that locate in the system try.
that simple application is a basically shortcuts manger for other
application and messaging between the workers.

one of the application is an Access 2007 application (connected to
sqlserver) - the client works with ACCESS Runtime 2007 (latest
version)

THE problem is that we can not launch the Access application correctly
from the C# application.
THE problem is only on windows 7 (we don't have vista) - [on XP OS
everything works fine)

"correctly" - meaning that the Access application running but the
Ribbon Bar is missing some Icons (strange). also some functionality
like open the Outlook is not working.

Some more Info:
- IF we put shortcut on the client desktop to the Access application
everything ok.
- The C# application have no problem to launch other EXE file.
- The C# application include Manifest file (run as admin on Win 7).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//The Original code is very simple (Works only in XP):
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(AppPath);


//The 'Open EXE' code that works (Works on XP and Win7)-[not working
with Access Application] :
Process Proc= new Process();
Proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
Proc.StartInfo.FileName = Application.StartupPath +
@"\PasswordManager.exe";
Proc.Start();

//We try many codes with no success like [NOT WORKING]:
System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.EnableRaisingEvents = false;
proc.StartInfo.FileName = sAccPath;// msaccess Path;
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @"""" + AppPath+ @"""";
proc.Start();


//We also try to add [NOT WORKING]:
System.OperatingSystem osInfo = System.Environment.OSVersion;
if (osInfo.Version.Major > 5)
proc.StartInfo.Verb = "runas";



Helppppppppppp!!!
Thanks

If all else fails, I saw the following in the
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp newsgroup:

Access.Application oAccess = null;

// Start a new instance of Access for Automation:
oAccess = new Access.ApplicationClass();

// Open a database in exclusive mode:
oAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase(
"c:\\mydb.mdb", //filepath
true //Exclusive
);

I don't have Access on my Windows 7 Enterprise Trial Version so I
can't test to see if it will work with Access on Windows 7.
