Important Installation notes for the Demo version

MS Access 2000/97 users.  

After you open The Lean Machine, Windows will think you are now using Access 2002 and your desktop shortcuts will open your existing databases using the Access Runtime engine installed with The Lean Machine.  To open you databases normally, first open your current version of MS Access and then open one of your existing Access files.  Your desktop shortcuts will now also open existing databases with your current version of Access.

The following command line is used in the "Target" setting to open The Lean Machine.  (Right click your desktop shortcut and select Properties)

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Access Runtime\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" /Runtime "C:\Program Files\TheLeanMachine\Application\TheLeanMachine.mde" /WrkGrp "C:\Program Files\TheLeanMachine\References\Security.mdw"

You can also use this same method in your existing shortcuts to open your existing database files so that they are opened with your current version of Access.  Copy and past the command line above into your existing shortcut and make the changes below to target the correct files on your computer.

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Access Runtime\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE"   Change or verify this path will target the MSACCESS.exe file on your machine. Look in "C:\Program Files\MicrosoftOffice\Office\MSACCESS.exe"

"C:\Program Files\TheLeanMachine\Application\TheLeanMachine.mde"  - This should be the path to the existing Access application you want to open, probably a .mdb file.

/WrkGrp "C:\Program Files\TheLeanMachine\References\Security.mdw" - If you need to target a specific .mdw file to gain access to your database, use this section to target that file. Make sure you include the /Wrkgrp before the path.

NORTON ANTIVIRUS (NAV) users.  - Disable Script Blocking

Norton Antivirus has a feature called script blocking that will prevent The Lean Machine from opening and working with documents correctly. It simply needs to be disabled when you are using The Lean Machine.

This has been an issue between Microsoft and Norton for years.  McAfee products don't have this problem and this is not a problem with the corporate edition of NAV.
