Hi,
I am trying to make MS Access 2003 completely working on my Linux wine-6.0 (Staging). That would be really a great thing, as MS Access and the VBA coding scripts are the last things that prevent me to shutdown a windows VM permantently.
I have followed the appDB howto and some winetricks suggestions, the application seems to work itself but if I try to open the VBA editor it just hangs forever.
I have followed many guides, suggesions, forums and so on, but none helped me.
In short here's what I have done so far:
- setup a new wineprefix using WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_office2k3_win32 winecfg (used the Windows 7 default and tried also with WinXP);
- prepending WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_office2k3_win32 performed the following actions:
- installed Office 2003 in the wineprefix;
- set the following dlls override in winecfg
- riched20 native
- gdiplus native, builtin
- sh winetricks corefonts vcrun6 riched20 mdac28 jet40 vb6run
- run the app.
Other people seem to have it working. What can I try to do?
Of course, I can provide any log if needed (by the way, I noticed a "01a8:err:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Loading of typelib L"C:\\Program files\\Common files\\Microsoft shared\\dao\\dao2535.tlb" failed with error 2" message at the end of the winetricks output, don't know if matters).
Many thanks,
Angus
Access 2003 VBA not working
Re: Access 2003 VBA not working
Other DB things have needed some dll overrides, can you check winecfg with that prefix that all of msado15, mtxdm, odbc32, oledb32, and odbccp32 are "native, builtin"?
