There is an issue with shortcuts... For some reason the .MDB file connection is always set to the last used Access. So if you have a shortcut "C:\data\my97db.mdb" This will sometimes open in A97 and sometimes in A2K/XP. Edit the shortcut to. "C:\Program Files\Office97\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\data\my97db.mdb" Or where ever access is... -----Original Message----- From: Wortz, Charles [mailto:CWortz at tea.state.tx.us] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 3:20 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] Multiple versions of Office on one PC - again. Bobby, What kind of corruption? One common problem in this situation is opening an A97 db with A02 and closing and saving it as A02. Then the A97 users cannot open the db any more and get the unrecognizable file format error message. Charles Wortz Software Development Division Texas Education Agency 1701 N.

Hi all, One of our big clients has decided that they want to make the jump from Acc97 to AccXP. I currently have Acc97 and OffXP installed on my Win2k system. I have no issues with this setup. Due to a slow changing over at the client, they will have to run both versions of our app. Both versions run fine on my system (and at the same time, even!). But our client is saying that their desktop is getting corrupted. I have no details of the event(s). They seem to think it is from the 97 (which may be office 97 in some cases) and the XP versions are causing the corruption. My question to ya'll is has anyone seen any form of corruption to systems using this setup? Note that they are using Lotus notes and not Outlook, if that matters.
