I think you're probably in the wrong newsgroup, this doesn't sound much like
an Access question. For whatever it may be worth, though, Office 97 if for
the IBM-compatible PC only, while Office 98 is for the Apple Mac only, so it
is extremely unlikely that you have them both on one computer, unless
perhaps you're running PC emulation software on an Apple Mac. Notepad is not
a component of any version of Office, it is a component of Windows. If you
are opening a file by double-clicking it, Windows determines what program to
use to open that file depending on the file extension. In Windows XP, you
can right-click a file, choose 'Open With ...' from the pop-up menu, and
choose the program you want to use to open the file from a list. You can
choose to make that program the default for files of that type. If you're
using a different version of Windows, I suggest asking in a newsgroup
devoted to that version of Windows.
