Errors opening Access files

[virtualawrence]

I get error dialogues when trying to run Access files from Filezilla. After the several popups, the database properly opens. The errors I get from rightclicking an mdb file and selecting Open are:

1.
The Command line you used to start Microsoft Office Access contains an option that Microsoft Office Access doesn't recognize.

Exit and restart Microsoft Office Access using valid command-line options.

2.
Failed to create connection to server 'Msaccess' on topic 'ShellSystem': a client's attempt to establish a conversation has failed.

This happens in version 3.0.8

Check your filetype associations in Explorer, the "Open" verb for .mdb files likely has an incorrect commandline or faulty DDE settings. Check your Windows manual for instructions.
