  You will have problems with Ole Automation and references to Excel 
Word Outlook if they are used, but by sacrificing a bit of speed you can 
use late binding to default to to the installed version of Word etc 
rather than using Word 9 or Word 10 libraries.
   Also make sure your clients are all using the same version of  Jet, I 
believe A2K came with  Jet SP3.  You can get Jet SP6 from here which may 
ameliorate your odd crashes. get the correct version for the OS. Before 
you install SP6  on a computer that is running Windows 95, Windows 98, 
or Windows NT 4.0, you must already have Jet 4.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3) or 
later installed. You have at least Jet 4.0 (SP3) if the file msjet40.dll 
is version 4.00.2927.4 or later
