I had one client who still runs an Access-2000-runtime program; the programmer is long gone and also Office 2000 is no longer getting any security patches. Most of the users only need the runtime version so they run Office 2003 Standard (which doesn't have Access) with the A2k runtime set up in parallel. Seems to run fine. However, couldn't install the full version of Access 2000 without problems on those desktops, so I set up virtual machines on a couple of desktops. The users who need to run Access 2000 (the full version) run A2k in the VM. Nobody in that office is running Office 2007 yet. We did install the O2k7 Compatibility pack so they could read .xxxx documents sent by clueless outhouse users. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 +-----------------------------------+ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
