Dunno exactly, other than O2K SBE doesn't include Access or Powerpoint

What happens if you run your Office 97 setup? Does it still recognise Access
as well as Powerpoint? If so, I think I'd remove it and then re-install it.
If not, just install it again. You'll need to be v. careful not to allow the
setup program to install any of the other applications - apart from Powerpoint
and, probably, the database drivers - or it'll screw up the O2KSBE
installation.

It might be 'cleaner' to uninstall both O2KSBE and O97, re-install O2KSBE and
then the Access, Powerpoint and DB driver elements of O97. You'd still have
to be careful not to let O97 setup install anything else.....

Obviously, do a full-scale backup before you start adding / removing things
JIC!

I don't know about PowerPoint but (full-version) Access2K0 is NOT included
in the O2K0 Small Business edition.

And you certainly wont find Access 97 on on any Office 2000CD. It comes with
Office 97. And the Small Business edition of Office 97 doesn't include
Access (I don't know about PowerPoint).

If you did want Office 97 you may be able to pick it up on Ebay for a price
that won't mean having to sell the children into slavery. Get the
Professional edition. I see there is one going for £10.52 with 22 hours to
go.
