Office 97 was working fine on an OEM installation of XP Pro. Both were fully
rev'd. I installed Office for Students and Teachers 2003 and now Access is
missing some wizards. I can't update linked tables or export a lot of common
formats. Otherwise it seems to work fine.
The error message tells me to reinstall wizards from the advanced install
tab. I did that from the Office 97 install disk but it didn't help. I even
uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the O97 install disk, but still no
good.
Is O97 looking in the wrong place because 03 puts them in a different place?
Or are they totally incompatible in these functions?
I need Access but hoped not to buy Office Pro 03 to get it. Can I get a
separate copy of Access 2000, install it with Office Student 03, and be
happy? I recognize that Access 2000 is significantly different from Access
97, but I don't have much programming invested. It's mostly tables and
drag-and-drop queries.
Also, I have a limit of Access 2000, vs 2003, because Office Pro 2000 is the
maximum version supported at work. I may have to share database files with
colleagues and don't want to jump through incompatibility hoops.
Thanks in advance.
