2000 Professional and Office 97

I don't know a site to see it in writting, but it does work. I have a few clients who a running this setup, the only problems are the normal MS Office stuff that I see regardless of which OS office is running on.

If you check Office 97 Minimum requirements you will see it works on NT 4.0 workstation, which is as close as you can get given that Win2K pro was not around then

I don't know of any link, but I can tell you that we've been using this combination without any problems from Windows 2000 for a long time now. Make sure that Office is patched with SR-2b (Service Release 2 B).

If you use Outlook or Outlook Express, then I recommend that your upgrade those to 2000 at minimum or XP.

We just (two months ago) upgraded Outlook to XP (more for security issues and the fact that we're relocating and upgrading Exchange servers here), but Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. are all from Office '97 and will remain so. We work in approximately an 1000-computer user corporate office, and we have thousands of field users.

The only app that has compatibility issues is Access. Here is a paper from Stanford that does a good job explaining the differences.
