is the following advice for installing o2ksp3.exe:

a.. Locate the three acwz*.mde files on your hard disk. The English version
of Office 2000 installs these files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\1033 by default. The files are: acwztool.mde, acwzmain.mde,
and acwzlib.mde.
a.. Rename the three files from step 3 acwz*.mde files to acwz*.old in the
same location. You can do this by right-clicking each file, selecting
Rename, and typing the new file name. Or, in the command line, you can type:
ren acwz*.mde acwz*.old.


On 3 previous computers, I don't recall renaming any files. What is the
danger in proceeding without renaming?

I don't know for sure, but I would suspect that this could be a post-launch
fix that resolves errors that might have been uncovered with the update and
Access.

You could certain try it, but I guess I'd follow those instructions if I had
Access 2000.
