Access 97 & Access 2000 on same PC

[zloc]

Hi to everyone,
I'll be very grateful if someone have a solution for this.
I have to install both version of MS Access, 97 & 2000 .
Acc2000 is working fine, but when I start Acc97 I got a message "OUT Of Memory" .

Thanks in advance

What order did you install these in?
What do you mean by 'when I start Acc97'?
Are you double clicking on an MDB?
Or, are you just starting Access 97?

When you have Access 97 and 2000 installed it will always try to open the MDB using the last version that was used.
So if you last ran Access 2000 and then double click on an Access 97 MDB it will open it in Access 2000. I dont know if you are aware of this.

You should have installed Access 97 first and then Access 2000 later. There are some installation issues, e.g search the "hatten.ttf" problem on google.

Since windows will register .mdb files with the Access 2000 association you need to force Access 97 files to open it's own version.
Create a shortcut to the .mdb, and change the target to the path to access 97 access.exe path to the mdb file such as: c:\office97\msaccess.exe c:\testdata\mydata97.mdb. use quotes if the paths have spaces in them.

Start in the Access 97 folder, and you can change the icon to reflect that it is a 97 version by selecting an icon from those stored in msaccess.exe (97).
