XP and Access 2000

[Guest]

We are running Access 2000 on Windows 2000 Professional. The database is
split front end/back end. One user will be getting a new computer running
Windows XP but still running Access 2000. Could there be any problems with
all users except one running Windows 2000 Professional and the one running XP?

Thanks,

There should be no problem if you have all of the patches from Windows
Update or Microsoft Update and all of the Office service packs and patches
installed on all computers. There is a potential for a minor problem after
the install of Office 2000 on the WinXP computer, but the same problem
exists when installing on a Win2k computer. What it comes down to, is you
have to manually copy a few of the help files from the CD to the hard drive.
The article link below will take you to what you need to do.
