Installing Access97 on Windows XP After installing Office XP

message from florence on 5 May 2004
I just bought a new Win XP Pro PC with Office XP Small Biz
already installed. I need Access. I have an Office97 Pro
CD that came with my old PC. Can I install JUST
Access97? And will it cause problems to any existing
files (overwrite DLL's, etc) that are already installed b
for Office XP?

yes, you could overwrite dlls, sending your newer program
into chaos.

I would remove the preloaded in its entirety, load
whatever you want from 97, then reload the preloaded
Office XP. Make sure to stash these installations in
different directories.
