Access 97 and Windows XP Are they compatible?

[Gracie]

I have a version of Access 97 and am using a Windows XP
OPS. Is it possible to install and use Access 97 on
Windows XP?

Please help.

Yes. Just install it as usual.

Remember to re-apply all service packs and patches, and be aware the
Access97 is =not= compatible with AccessXP (aka Access 2003 or whatever)
... Access97 can not work with databases produced by later versions of
Access (even after patching it), although later versions can open/edit
(but not change the structure of) Access97 databases.

Also, Access XP is NOT the same (or aka) as Access 2003. Two
different software versions, with 2003 being the lastest release.
