You will have problems with Ole Automation and references to Excel Word Outlook if they are used, but by sacrificing a bit of speed you can use late binding to default to to the installed version of Word etc rather than using Word 9 or Word 10 libraries. Also make sure your clients are all using the same version of Jet, I believe A2K came with Jet SP3. You can get Jet SP6 from here which may ameliorate your odd crashes. get the correct version for the OS. Before you install SP6 on a computer that is running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0, you must already have Jet 4.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later installed. You have at least Jet 4.0 (SP3) if the file msjet40.dll is version 4.00.2927.4 or later http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q282010 Mark Whittinghill wrote: >That was my plan, to set default to A2K.
