Hi Tina I don't think you will need to uninstall Office 2003. This is, by the way, not that easy if you want to erase any track from it. I have not installed the updates for the different versions in any particular order (don't recall which). I have not installed the latest update for 2002/XP and 2003 as they kill the option to update linked Excel files. /gustav >>> tinanfields at torchlake.com 28-03-2008 16:30:30 >>> Thank you Gustav, On my current main computer I am running Office 2003, with all the updates except SP3, which I understand has caused difficulties for others. Just so I fully understand the process I will need, and whatever "gotchas" are likely to come along, please walk me through the process. First, I would un-install my current Access version - do I need to un-install the entire Office Suite? Second, I would install Access 97 in its own folder, followed by any other versions I wish, each in its own folder, until I get to my current version. How would I handle the several updates that had been downloaded and installed, and which, presumably will have to be reinstalled? Do I install Access 97, go get its updates, install the next version, go get its updates - and so on until the whole project is complete? Am I understanding the process correctly?
