The only thing that I can think of that is the slightest bit odd about my setup is that I do not run the full Office 97 suite. I installed Word and Excel, because that is all I usually use. I then added Access. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko
From: Arvin Meyer on 30 Jun 2010 19:51 I've had that happen to me as well. Try uninstalling all of Office and use a registry cleaner to make sure everything is gone. Then reboot and reinstall Office including Access. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.accessmvp.com http://www.mvps.org/access Co-author: "Access 2010 Solutions", published by Wiley "Gene Wirchenko" <genew(a)ocis.net> wrote in message news:567n269visdg8c5b36sfmmmuv8hd4bslou(a)4ax.com... > On Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:03:31 -0600, Tony Toews > <ttoews(a)telusplanet.net> wrote: > >>On Tue, 29 Jun 2010 12:15:18 -0700, Gene Wirchenko <genew(a)ocis.net> >>wrote: >> >>>>Is A97 on the CD the SR-1 version?

That version had terrible problems like this back in the Office 97 time period. It would very often be unable to recognize the appropriate service pack that was installed. My solution was to always install Access from Office Pro, whether or not it was along with SBE or not (obviously, that was only legal if you also had a legal license for standalone Access). -- David W.

There used to be an "eraser" program to clean up after you uninstalled Office 97. I still have it somewhere, I'm sure. In fact, I very smartly saved a shortcut to the Knowledge Base for it, and you can get it from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q176823/ I found that it worked extremely well when I used it. -- David W.
