Hello,
I'm running successfully Access 2000 from Office 2000 Professional package on Ubuntu Hardy using Crossover Office 6.2.0.
Ok, there are some minor problems, such as reports are not sorted alphabetically, but nothing that really matters.
Now I set up my new EEE Box with Intrepid and the latest version of Crossover (7.1.0)
Unfortunately, now I have three severe problems:
(1) during installation, starting and running of some MS applications the display flashes and gets totally black.
Installation procedure can't really be followed, because most of the time the display is off.
(2) I'm running a rather complex Access-application with modules, makros, etc. processing data of one year.
At the end of the year the status of the file is frozen, copied to the new year (db2008.mdb -> db2009.mdb), the tables are emptied and the work begins again.
All older copies (db2006, db2007, db2008) start properly, but starting db2009.mdb I get a message "The database window couldn't be generated. Please update your Internet Explorer to a higher version" (not literally, retranslated from german).
Even if I think this message to be really odd, I did run an update, but with no success.
(3) and worst: Reports have only headlines, but no contents.
No matter whether I have data or even only text fields in the inner data area (I don't know, how to retranslate. The german version calls it "Detailbereich"), there is nothing. Neither on screen nor on print.
I thought it to be a problem of fonts, but when I cut&paste any field from a head area into the inner data area, it disappears.
My trial time is expiring soon and I really don't know, what to do.
The way it is now, it's useless for me.
Is it possible that some improvement has worsen the ACCESS 2000 support of Crossover?
If yes, is it possible to get a licence for this old version?
