access97 and 2000 on one pc - problem
Although Access 97 and Access 2000 can live on the same computer, there are
issues. This biggest problem is with the installation order. To be most successful, it is recommended to install them in the release order, i.e., 97 first and then 2000. If 2000 is already installed, it is best to do a complete uninstall of 2000, install 97, and then reinstall 2000. I have several computers that have Access 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 on them. Always installed in this order. That said, take a look at http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;241141 and http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;828956. Be aware that the "default" version that starts when you double click an mdb file in Windows Explorer will always be the last installed version. To start the other versions, you will need to start them from the Start button or make shortcuts. Good luck. Sco "mla" wrote in message ...

Actually the last executed version as each version resets the .mdb file extension to run that version. Unless you muck with the .srg files.

Detects the version of Access used to create your MDB, MDE or MDA files and either reports the version number or starts the appropriate version of MS Access. http://www.aylott.com.au/accver.htm Highly recommended.

Hi Tony,
I have a Win2000 machine that no matter what the last run version of Access is, it always starts the last installed version when double clicking an mdb from WinExplorer. Go figure.

Hmm, I wonder if that part of the registry has been secured from changes by that user profile. Just guessing though.
