Access97 ODE

[Dave C]

I got fed up with conversion issues in going from ACC97
to 2003, so I tried to reinstall 97 on my machine with
Office 2002. Access97 works ok, but I get the error
message "The Setup Wizard could not find the list
information for your copy of MSACCESS. Please reinstall
Access or ODE Tools & make surre 'ACCFIL80.ODE' is
included in the same directory as MSACCESS.EXE. I removed
both programs and reinstalled them Same message. I
searched for both files and they are on the same
directory. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Dave,

SYMPTOMS
When you start your computer, you receive a message that prompts you for a
program in which to open the Accfil80.ode file. This behavior occurs after
you upgrade from Microsoft Office 97 to Office XP or to Office 2000.
CAUSE
Your computer is looking for a file that is used by Office 97. Office XP
and Office 2000 do not use this file and do not recognize the file name
extension.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, rename the file and remove any shortcuts to it. To
do this, use the following two-part procedure.
Part 1 - Rename Accfil80.ode
NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the
following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your
product documentation to complete these steps.

Click Start, and then click Search.
Click All files and folders.
In the All or part of the file name box, type Accfil80.ode.
In the Look in list, click Local Hard Drives.
Click Search.
When the search is complete, right-click Accfil80.ode, and then click
Rename.
Rename the file as Accfil80.old, and then press ENTER.


Part 2 - Remove the Shortcuts
Use one of the following methods, as appropriate to your operating system.
Method 1 - Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me),
or Microsoft Windows 98
NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the
following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your
product documentation to complete these steps.

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type msconfig, and then click OK.
Click the Startup tab.
In the Startup Item column, click to clear the Microsoft Office check box,
and then click OK.
Method 2 - Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows NT, or Microsoft
Windows 95
Click Start, point to Programs, point to the Startup folder, right-click
