Sharing Access 97 Database on NT and XP Operating Systems

B

Bill Coughlin

I am trying to share an Access 97 database amongst Windows
NT and XP users. To make matters worse, NT machines are
running Office 97 Professional and XP machines are running
Office XP. Within the application the need exists to use
Excel to import .csv files in addition for browsing
files. When application is opened in XP (and a minor
change to a form made) the next time an NT users opens
app, an error occurs missing Excel 10 library. User can
remove error by removing check from missing reference
library Excel 10 (Excel.exe), and clicking Excel 8
(Excel8.olb). This process is too cumbersome for the
average user. Is there any way to make this sharing issue
go away? It will be several more months before my entire
Company moves to XP.
