What should I do? I have completed online registration when prompted by the install. L Tucker	Guest (0)

Then uninstall Access and try to reinstall access 97 only. It may not work. I had to reformat my PC to get Access running after carrying out the installation the wrong way around. Once access is in and running, set up Office XP and choose to save the 97 version when prompted by the XP setup. You may need to try this kb article to delete Office 97: support.microsoft.com See this kb article for order of installation support.microsoft.com regards Marty	Guest (0)
