    Uninstall second copy of W2K Pro - How?

    Dom, Well I'm sort of guessing here, but here it is, 1. Type Msaccess on Run 2. If that doesnt do it, Why dont u go over to the C:\program files\Microsoft office directory and give write access to the General User. I think that should help. Lasith G. B.Sc (Hons), MIEEE Coordinator -...
