The system is running wk2, it has office 2000 standard. Using access97 because of our database. The problem is that access97 tries to reload itself everytime. What can I do in order for access97 not to try and install itself everytime. Have already del the entire office2k and reloaded it.

Do you have Windows 2000 professional that has Access components running? If so just convert your 97 applications into 2000 - they convert well for the most part. Nothing lost as you just rename the converted database so still have your original. The short time I ran both 2000 and 97 on my system I installed Access 97 first then installed each 2000 program separately rather than the entire suite. Hope that helps.
