I currently have office pc's using Office XP Professional. I need to add Access 97 to run along with Access 2002. I cannot convert the old database due to some offices have not converted to Office XP.

Microsoft discusses adding to access 2000 butnot 2002. I also in the windows explorer cannot rename the HATTEN file as discribed in the microsoft procedure.

The same procedures should work for 2002. Don't rename unless you get the message "Microsoft Access can't start because there is no license for it on this machine."
You can do it in a command window

Completely remove Office XP. Install Access97 to the default folder. Install Office XP to a different folder. (we use C:\Program Files\Microsoft OfficeXP) When installed this way we have had sucess with the 3 large databases that we use.
