Hi,

I have 2 different versions of MS Access (97 and 2000)
installed on my computer, as I need them both.

Recently came across a problem where when I try to open an
Access 2000 database file using the "Open With" menu
option by right clicking on the file icon, the listing for
Access 2000 is not there. Previously, both Access 97 and
Access 2000 used to listed and I could choose depending on
the file.

I'm using Windows XP. Not sure what caused Access 2000
listing to disappear from the options, but if anyone can
help me with this, that'll be much appreciated.

Thanks!

-Amit
 
Greetings

In my computer goto tools->folder options
Open the file types tab
Select .mdb and click change
select Access 97

Repeat steps and then select Access 2000

These two should be there when you right click now.

Hope this works for you
