...Charlotte's point was re loading an Access97 runtime on top of an installed OfficeXP ...the only solution there that I know of is to uninstall OXP, install the A97 runtime, and then reinstall OXP. ...if the client OfficeXP systems have AccessXP installed already, you can install and use an A97 mdb in "enabled" mode without the runtime ...note that I've not done this ...supposedly it works but you can't make any object changes from XP. ...the runtime install will be MUCH larger than 1Mb but the size is really dependent on a number of factors which as Charlotte suggested, you have not provided.
