access 97 will not shut down 1

[aledid]

Hello,

I have just installed Access 2000 and also have Access 97 installed to open databases that will not be converted due to others needing access to those older files. When I close the 97 access DB, Access will close the file and then menimize on the toolbar. This was working fine befor installing Access 2000.

Has anyone run into this before. I do not feel this is a form as mentioned in Q190074 or Q164455

There are various issues that you will run into since you have installed Access 97 and Access 2000 on the same system. This is higly discouraged from doing and would be better if you run Access 2000 on one system while you run access 97 on another system.
