Assuming this is what you meant: I changed the shortcut on my system to point to the latest version of MS Access (not the runtime) and included the rest of the goodies from the shortcut (basically invoke MS Access 2007 instead of the MS Access Runtime). When I do that, it actually loads the d/b and I'm prompted to enter the user-id.
However, when I do that (and the user-id/password combination is correct), I get "The current user account doesn't have permission to convert or enable this database." And yes, I've tried it as local admin and domain admin.

But the best chance I believe is to open the latest version of access possible and then to point to the mdb file target. Let us know how it works out.
