Access 2000 help files do not exist in an Access 97 installation.
Office 2000 uses a new underlying technology for help (HTML Help) in place
of the WinHelp technology used by Office 97.
You can copy the .hlp files from the Office 97 installation, but don't
expect to get working context-sensitive help in Office 2000 as a result.
It is still worth copying them, though. You can open them directly (just
double-click the .hlp files) and search them for topics that you have
difficulty finding in the help system in later versions.

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
