Hello,
I realized that some people are still using Access 97.
So, I tried to install my version on XP Home. It is an upgrade version, so
it searches for already installed software and should prompt for a disk
(ette) if not found. I do not have a diskette on my laptop, but I figured I
could use the network connected to a PC that has one. Nevertheless, the
installation software does not reach that point, it just hangs there
"searching" the disc.
Suggestions ?
Should I install Office 95 !! ?? (*%/&/% upgrades !!!)
I just need to provide a client with a small interface to input data, I
though of using a small Access program to enter the transactions.

thank you

Do you have a full version of Office, or an upgrade version? If it's an
upgrade version, then the qualifying product you're upgrading from must be
accessible for the installation to be successful.
