Sure, I've had multiple copies of the Office programs on one computer in the
past (I don't now cuz I've got four different computers in my Office)..you
just need to install them to two separate folders....and install them in
order from oldest to newest....the only thing you have to remember with
Access is never save a database in the newer version's format or you won't
be able to open it in the older versions 

But, I really don't know if that's necessary...I just know James always says
he uses Access 97's Help files cuz they are way better...before you go
installing stuff, wait for James to tell you how HE does it

<Copy>
One thing I can tell you, that James LaBorde often says....if you can find 
a copy of Access 97, use THOSE help files...for some reason, Microsoft 
changed the help files in Access and, according to James, the 97 ones are 
still way superior.

Linda- how I would I access Access Help files in Access 97 without 
installing it? Does that mean I should keep two versions of Access on my 
computer? Btw, it wouldn't be a problem to have Office 2000 on Computer A 
and Office 97 (Access 97) on Computer B.
