The whole font renaming thing was really just a voodoo way of
forcing Access to fully re-register all its components.

That's odd, as the default permissions on the Windows folder have
been read-only for users starting with Win2000. Power Users have
modify permission. Are you sure you're not running as a member of
the Power Users group?

I was under the impression if one installed
97->2000->2002->2003->2007... that was fine but installing an earlier
version after installing a later version posed problems.

I had not, but I finally was able to find it and ran it. I got
the same error message I quoted above.

That gave me the same error as well.

Positive.

It's possible that they perverted the default permissions, but I'd be
extremely surprised, since generally we tighten up security, not loosen it,
in our environment. When I get back to the office on Monday, I'll try and
remember to check the permissions on the folder.
