Office 2007 Standard and Access XP, plus a support site popup ques

[David Teich]

I have a desktop and laptop running 2007. My oldest computer, acting as
print/disk server still had Office XP. The only thing I used XP for was a
bunch of personal databases tracking books, movies, etc. Last weekend, that
computer finally died.

I've seen the instructions that people can run Office 2007 & XP together,
but with some problems. They state the oldest needs to be installed first.
However, I'm not really looking forward to uninstalling 2007 and installing
two suites.

Since I have Office 2007 Standard, w/o Access, and all I want to do is
install Access XP, no other part of Office XP, does anyone know if I can just
do a custom install for Access w/o first uninstalling 2007?

On a tangent, my desktop has stopped working with this site. Even though I
allow popups in IE, FF & Kaspersky, the entry window just isn't popping up.
Any clues?

thanx!

Well you no the reccommended method, earliest first, update then later
version.

You can but try custom installing Access, only, ensure you install to a
version specific folder,
eg \Microsoft Office 9\

I installed Access only from the CD. After it installed, Word, pp and Excel
all started w/o problems. Outlook had an error, so I ran repair and it seems
fine.

The only problem is w/Access XP. It starts fine and I can see the tables,
forms, etc. The problem is that VB doesn't seem to be working properly, I got
an error when OnCurrent" ran that DoCmd.GoToControl "Title" wasn't good
because ""The expression On Current you entered as the event property setting
produced the following error: Object or Class does not support the set of
event"

This is a command that has run for years, even before XP. It's not the
command . In fact, I commented it and the next command gave me the same error.

What conflicts do you see between VB XP and an install of 2007 that doesn't
include Access?
