Installing Access 2000 Upgrade edition

[Wesley Long]

I have a "full" install for Access 97, and an "Upgrade" install for Access
2000.

I'm retiring my old machine, and need to move to my new machine.

Do I have to install 97 completely, and then upgrade, or is there a way to
"tell" the install for 2000 that I do, in fact, have 97 without doing a full
install?

I'm not sure, but I think the upgrade may ask for your Access 97 CD.

No, you do not need to install Access 97 - just have the CD handy when
installing 2000. When the installer says that it cannot find a qualifying
product on your system and asks you to tell it where that qualifying product
is located, insert your Access 97 CD in the drive and point the installer
there. When the installer prompts you to re-insert the 2000 CD, do that
and your install will complete.

I was hoping that was the case. Thank you!

You're welcome.
