Why do you need both? In any case I think you should have installed 97
first.......

For the most part, it doesn't really matter what order you install them in.

See whether http://support.microsoft.com/?id=156452 helps.

As well, while I know you only have 500 Mb of RAM, the advice in
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=161255 may be applicable as well if you
haven't installed all of the service packs for Access 97.

Interestingly this KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q218861/ says
you should install the earliest version first......

I'm aware of that recommendation, but as a test, some of the MVPs have
deliberately installed in a different order with no ill effects. This is
especially true of Access 97 and newer versions, since they have virtually
no files in common.

Hi Gordon, Douglas, Gordon and Douglas

I've tries both ways round at least twice

Still get 'not sufficient memory' which, in the circumstances seems daft!

So, any other suggestions folks!

 

[Douglas J Steele]

What about the 2 suggestions I gave you in the other thread?

Ok - I'll have go at installing 3.51 but it may well be next week now - of
for a cycle ride in fRANCE FOR A FEW DAYS EARLT ON TOMORROW oops sorry about
thecaps - however, until very recently it was bounding along quite happily
on 125 mb of Ram
Thanks for you efforts anyway. I'll let you know if it works
