I still haven't been able to get Access2000 to work. I've uninstalled Office2003, 2000 and 97 and then reinstalled them all. I've reinstalled WindowsXP SP3. Everything I check seems up to date. I have a laptop running Windows XP SP3 and Access2000 still works there. I have no idea what happened to my desktop -- literally one hour after working fine, Access would not open and nothing has changed that. It crashes during the Verifying system objects message in the bottom left of the window. Happens if I open an existing database or try to open a new database. If I try to open a new database using a wizard/template, it creates the new database, but then crashes when it goes to open the first form.

Might be worth looking at. http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1094429.php The third post down has the solution that the original poster came to use..He attributed the problem to JET which maybe wouldn't have been reinstalled if you did a re-install if it thought it was already there. Here's the solution as posted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Any way, if anyone else runs into this problem, let me tell you how I resolved the issue. I ran into a problem running another program and was able to get real useable information about that error. Realized the issue was with msjet40.dll. I tried using the file in the MS KB to upgrade the file, and it wouldn't work since I had installed XP SP 2. I decided to reinstall XP SP 2 and it reinstalled msjet40.dll. Now I can open files in access and in the other program." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GK On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 8:53 AM, Carolyn Johnson<cjlabs at worldnet.att.net> wrote: > I've had all 3 versions installed for years, and they were installed in separate folders in order from earliest to latest.
