Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.
 
Joan:

I don't know all the circumstances surrounding your needs, however, the you
can determine the installation root of your Office applications in the
registry (provided those entries still exist, of course). For example, my
Access 2003 installation shows the installation root directory under the
following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\InstallRoot

Version 11.0 is for Office 2003, 10.0 for Office XP, etc. Each Office
application appears to have its own installation root setting. All the
usual warnings about accessing the registry apply here. Do not attempt to
do this unless you are comfortable working within the registry.
