I've tried to install Access 97 alongside the existing Office 2000 Small Business on my computer. It won't open due to "can't find the db you specified"; this appears in a modal msgbox, so there's no choice but to accept and retreat. I currently manage to run 97 via the .exe from CD just fine, but this doesn't allow for downloads and also the CD ROM drive gets to be like listening to a vacuum cleaner after a while.<br><br>Any way to address this other than a court to MS to top strong-arming people into upgrades?

Another retrofit question vis a vis Access 97
- Thread starter Quehay
- Start date
I have both installed but<br>You have to install Access '97 first then Access 2000 in that order.<br>Now when I luanch Access '97 it works fine<br>Launch AC 2000 and I get a Message (not an Error) Please wait Installing components.<br>This is normal<br>AC 2000 and Ac '97 share the same file names but different versions so AC 2000 is doing some shuffling.<br>Now when you install 2000 you have to choose the option leave existing Access intact or it won't work.<br><br>
