If anyone has an original copy of Office 97 including Access, I need to get hold of one. Mine has disappeared and I have records going back years. I've tried all other means of reading these records and cannot get far with anything. Even Open Office does not do a satisfactory job (it proves the records are there but won't let me use them). If you have something like that please contact me off list so I can arrange to buy it... Note: I have tried Office 2000 but it can't read these records. I'm confident they are intact and have CD backups. -- Regards, John Durham <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> ICQ number 497166248 Fax/Phone 64 4 5286786 Award winning web site at http://modecideas.com?sig Terms of trade at http://modecideas.com/lvl22.html?sig PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied. -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at http://www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at http://www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
