Ok, Installed Ubuntu 8.10 clean, installed Wine, installed Office 2000 clean. What I need to do is open a database form in MSAccess on a server across the network. Access opens clean under XP, I click open, then click on my network button and get this error message: The file name, location, or format '::{208d2c60-3aea-1069-a2d7-08002b30309d}' is not valid. Type the file name in the correct format, such as c:\location\file name. I am at a total loss as I'm not very savvy with Winblows or Linux. I'm pulling my hair out and google is no help at all right now. Help me learn!!!
