Ah...that is a thought...something that I did think of earlier, but had
forgotten...uninstalling all, and then going in "older-first" order. Maybe
I'll try that Monday...I'm tapped...been at this for two whole days w/zip
for results. 
 
And, now I'm wondering if it is even possible for 64-bit. Any instructions
that I have been given prove to not work. 
 
The biggest holdup actually, seems to be a font...Tahoma. I follow the
directions right along, and all is alright...UNTIL...I get to the part where
I have to update A97 to SR2. To do this, it says you MUST remove 4 font
files...Comic and Tahomas...but the Tahoma will not go, says it is a
"Windows System Font." I cannot remove, move, or change the name of this
file. So, I try to run SR2 anyhow, and it bombs. The log points to the
Tahoma font. 
 
Now, if I do a version check on the Jet 3.5, it says it is Service pack 3
(SP3) w/enhanced security ...3.51.3328.0 
 
I don't know...back to the drawing board on Monday I guess.

I run A97 on Win 7 32 bit all the time along with various later versions. I
don't have a version installed on 64 bit Win 7. I think I installed them in
the order of earlier versions before later.
