Actually Dual boot serves a purpose, but this actually acts like a multiple boot but you can switch between the booted machines with a keystroke which is also way cool. The process of having to reboot is what always stops me from using the dual boot feature. John W.

Just make sure you have a data drive that is visible from both boots, and you're cool. hth, Arthur -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of John Colby Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 10:08 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] Office97 SP2b Well there's someone who thinks outside the box. Thanks for the suggestion. If I already had a dual boot setup I would probably consider this. However it seems that the time to get dual boot set up, the new operating system installed and all would be more than just uninstalling / re-installing the various Office packages. John W.
