Access 97 with Office Student 03 on XP Pro SP2?

C

Chris Cowles

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.

Thanks in advance.

Your query might be better posted to an access ng.

Whatever you do you need to install the earliest version *first* then update
before adding the later version.
Access can be purchased as a stand alone app. You do qualify for an upgrade
version. The earlier version doesnt have to be installed, you just need the
cd to pop in when the upgrade complains abaout no QP
