Hello all,
I recently got a new computer and have both Office 2003 (full package) and Access 97 installed. (Installed 97 first and then 2003) The reason being is that I have may client DB's that were created in 97 and they are not ready to convert to 2003. The problem that I have is an issue with linked tables. I found the problem and the solution on Microsoft's website,



however, it's not working. And I suspect that it has to do with the fact that I have both versions installed. I haven't been able to find anyone who has the same issue. Does anyone know if there is a way that I can install only the libraries of Access 97 without having to install the application? And would that even work? Would I be able to run 97 applications in the 2003 environment?

Hi Everyone,
I can't believe that no one has had the same problem! I still have not found a solution. Anyone?
