Hi

My colleague does not see the table in access (please see picture). I can see it.

I don't know why is this happening to my colleague.

We have the same rights in the folder where the database is located, same access version.

What needs to be set to see the tables in access?

Thank you for any help.

    Hi,

    Your picture shows the Runtime version of Access. You can determine this by the "Powered by" in the lower right corner. There are at least 4 potential reasons for this:

    1. The colleague has installed only the Runtime version. Since you exclude this in your description with "same version", it may be 2, 3, 4:
    2. The colleague has installed the full version and the Runtime version and according to his/her Windows the Runtime is responsible for Access file extensions.
    3. The file is started with the /runtime switch.
    4. The file has the extension accdr and therefore runs in runtime mode.

    Check the 4 possibilities, i.e. the extensions, the installed versions and e.g. if the colleague can open Access first, then open the file via File/Open and see the tables and navigation pane of Access.

    This looks like your colleague has the Runtime version of Access.
