lost in office 2003 setup
Historically, I have installed boxed version of Office2003 on top of an
upgrade to Office 1997 which itself was an upgrade to Works. Recently bought boxed windows XP and installed to SP3 level. Now, when trying to load Office 1997 and then load Office 2003 in the new system i run into a problem getting office 1997 installed before i can move to the office 2003 upgrade (expensive enough). The error message says that my Works has a newer date than Office 1997 and therefore I am ineligible to upgrade to Office 1997. How can I get back to Office 2003 level -- jab |

You don't need to install the qualifying versions in order to upgrade
Its not entirely clear from your post as to whether Works is installed or if you just have a Works cd, if so is it a version that pre dates Office 2003? Assuming you have a Works cd, pop the Office cd in and start its installation, when it complains about no qualifying product, swap office cd with works cd, and point the installation to it, once confirmed swap the cd's and continue the installation "jab" wrote in message ...

I should have made it clear, 'pop office 2003 cd in' - forget the 97 cd
