Access 2000 and Office XP

[Kathy McClain]

I have a LIMS software package that utilizes Access
2000. I am just learning Access, while trying to do all
my other work. AUGH. Not all the wizard features are
installed for access, and the message I get when trying
to use some of the wizards requests the Office 2000 SR-1
Premium disk, but I don't have that. I have Office XP.
If I try putting in the XP disk, it won't work. Could
anyone please advise?
Also, the LIMs people will not support their software in
Access 2002 because there have been too many problems
with something. They have had success with Access 2003
so far. If we upgrade to Access 2003, will I have
compatability issues with Office XP?
Thank-you.

Running Access 2003 with Office XP should work ok.

Office XP is actually Access 2002, so their program is actually two versions
old.

I have one machine that I have Access 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 on. Although
I don't normally recommend it, I don't have any problems.

Good luck.
