installation of access 97 with office 2000

[Guest]

I am currently using msoffice 2000 small business which does not include
msaccess. However, I have an office 97 professional which have an msaccess.

Can i install this program along with msoffice 2000?

Yes. The best method is to install the earlier version first (Access 97 only)
and then your Office 2000 Small Business software. However, you can install
Access 97 after the fact. You might experience a few minor problems along the
way, such as a blank linked table manager screen, or a very common message
indicating you do not have a license (caused by a font of all things), but
nothing that can't be worked through with a little patience and more
questions posted to this newsgroup.

Make sure that the installation folder picked in the Office 97 setup dialog
is not the same folder as your 2000 installation.

Yes, you can. Do a custom install of Office 97, specifying a different
folder, e.g. create one called:
C:\Program Files\Office97
and install just the Access part.

If you run into problems about "no license", see:

Bxyle,

Yes, you can. The only problem I know about with this, when installing
Access 97 *after* Access 2000, is described in this article...
