Hello, I realized that some people are still using Access 97. So, I tried to install my version on XP Home. It is an upgrade version, so it searches for already installed software and should prompt for a disk (ette) if not found. I do not have a diskette on my laptop, but I figured I could use the network connected to a PC that has one. Nevertheless, the installation software does not reach that point, it just hangs there "searching" the disc. Suggestions ? Should I install Office 95 !! ?? (*%/&/% upgrades !!!) I just need to provide a client with a small interface to input data, I though of using a small Access program to enter the transactions. thank you Marc Pouliot

- 1. Access 2000 and Windows XP Pro
I opened an Access project on a PC that is running XP Pro. Most of the Reports, Queries, Tables and such are not appearing when I browse the objects (Tables, Queries, etc). The problem is not occuring when the same project(s) are opened on a NT 4.0 machine, using the same LAN ID. Any pointers where I should look for a resolution? I looked under "missing objects" and the like on the knowledge base and didn't see anything that looked similar to my problem. Thanks in advance, Greg - 2. Error on open - Jet engine stops
I am getting this message on a DB on open "The microsoft Jet Database Engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time". I can't seem to repair the DB or get it to open. Have copied it to another computer not on the network, and have the same problem (No other users are possibly in the DB) Seems to be a lock within the DB itself. Other DB's open without any problem on both systems. Have also tried to import the tables from the affected DB into another copy of the DB which is an older back-up and opens with no problem, but same message occurrs. Is there any way to repair the DB and get it open? Or force the Jet Engine to run? - 3. Transfer field contents to a second field
Hello, I need to automatically transfer/mirror an integer from one field into a second field and then concatenate a default alpha character to that integer. For example: fld1=23 alpha character="M" fld2 should be 23M. Can't find a way; probably missing something very simple. Thanks, 8n_man - 4. Autonumber Fields Resetting
I have a table with an autonumber field as the key. One of the functions the program has is to move a record from this table to a "historical" table. For some reason at one of my clients that runs this software, the autonumber resets when they do this. For instance: if there are 50 records in the table with #'s 1-50 and they perform the move on the record with the autonumber of 35, the next record they insert in the table will have a # 35 in the autonumber, not a 51 as expected. Any ideas on this? I can't recreate it on my computer or at other clients. Very strange happening though and it is messing up some other parts of the application. I rewrote how the application assigns this # as a fix but I can't figure out why it is doing this. I have seen it happen in one other commercial software as well but it is the first time it happened to me with my applications. Thanks in advance for any help. PZ - 5. Northwinds
As I've posted several times into this newsgroup I have purchased the beta version of Office 2003. For whatever reason, and no one here or anywhere else seems to be able to know the answer to my problem, I cannot load the Northwinds database for reasons I have posted previously. Does anyone know where I can download Northwinds for Access?

2.Installing Office 97 on XP Home Edition
I did a custom installation to install Power Point, for I had previously had Excel and Outlook (also custom install). After I did this installation, I was told that it needed a ms097.dll file. So I got this file off the disk manually and then put it to the microsoft office directory. Then clicking power point shorcut did nothing. I went into Excel and it told me that there was not enough memory, which cannot be the case. During the installation it told me that I would need to edit the autoexec.bat path, but I cannot figure out how to do this. I followed directions from an error 156352 posting, but this is for Win98. The instructions said to remove and reisnstall, so I did this and I am still having the error. HELP me PLEASE!!! Thank you!

4."Upgrade" to Office 97 Professional Edition Failed
My wife has an old notebook computer circa 1998 which has served her well. It operates under Windows 98SE and she uses Word 97 because she cannot live without "Kairu the Dolphin" as her Office Assistant. I just bought her a new Sony Vaio A290 to replace it and I am trying to set it up for her. The new Vaio comes with Windows XP Home, Microsoft Works 7.0, and a 90-day trial version of Office 2003 products. The computer does not have a diskette drive. I want to install Word 97 for her so she can continue to use her Kairu Dolphin Assitant. The good news is that I still have our Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition CD. The bad news is that it is an "upgrade" version and it is not recognizing the newer MS Works or anything else on the computer as a valid upgradeable product. Therefore, the installation fails. I cannot find an older software. I do have a Microsoft Word 2000 CD which came with my desktop. Can anyone help me get the Word 97 installation to work for her? Is there a file the hard drive of her old notebook installation of Word 97 that I can transfer to her new hard drive so that the installation will work? Thank you
5.Upgrading Office 97 to Office XP Student Edition
I currently have Office 97 loaded on my desktop and use MS Office 97, MS Access 97, MS Excel 97, and Powerpoint 97. If I upgrade to Office XP Student Edition will I lose the ability to use MS Access as this is not included in the upgrade? Can Microsoft disable MS Access 97 on my desktop if it is legally obtained software?
