Uninstall both small business and professional. Reinstall professional. <p> <br><a href=mailto: dreamboat@nni.com> dreamboat@nni.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>

In between installs, (that's the way it goes, isn't it)...after an uninstall...I'd dig into the Registry and delete all keys referring to the apps except the ones in the legacy definitions. There's something (obviously) left behind from the unistall that's contradictory to the new license information. Maybe a further registry sweep with regclean.exe (downloadable freebie from MS)would help, too. <p>cadman2<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>( : >[ )
This is a known bug in Access 97. You can download a patch from Microsoft to fix it at <A HREF=" TARGET="_new">

I a somewhat a novice at installing Microsoft Office. I have<br>this problem: I followed instructions on reinstalling after a problem that someone repairing my computer reformatted my hard drive. I had most files back-up but that is not my present problem <br>I would like to go to Microsoft Explorer and locate my Word and Excel under the Microsoft folder, but they are not there. I cannot find them in the Office folder. How can I get them into the office folder. I want to go to Explorer and see the various drives. If I want to copy a file from drive to another, I want to drag and drop it into the correct folder. HOW DO I SET THAT UP? PLEASE BE SIMPLY SPECIFIC. THANKS.
