[AccessD] Office97 SP2b

John,

The safest way to install multiple versions of Office on one machine is
to start with the oldest first and work your way through to the newest.
Thus it follows that the safest way to install SPs on older versions is
to uninstall all newer versions of Office, install the SP, and then
reinstall the newer versions.

Folks,

I'm trying to apply SP2b to Office97 and it won't go.  It says "multiple
versions of office apparently installed".  True.  "Call tech support".
Fat chance.

Does anyone know if it is possible to apply this service pack to my
machine where I also have Office2K installed?
