[AccessD] Acc97 run-time question.

Actually, we do this all the time with our commercial applications.
They include the Access 97 runtime (we're still migrating the products
to XP) and they install just fine with OXP in place, with or without
Access.  I wouldn't try it with a package created by the wizard, but we
use Wise and SageKey scripts for the purpose.

...Charlotte's point was re loading an Access97 runtime on top of an
installed OfficeXP ...the only solution there that I know of is to
uninstall OXP, install the A97 runtime, and then reinstall OXP.

...if the client OfficeXP systems have AccessXP installed already, you
can install and use an A97 mdb in "enabled" mode without the runtime
...note that I've not done this ...supposedly it works but you can't
make any object changes from XP.

...the runtime install will be MUCH larger than 1Mb but the size is
really dependent on a number of factors which as Charlotte suggested,
you have not provided.
