Access 97 & ccess 2000 on same machine
A long time ago I found out that installing Access 2000 on a machine and then installing Access 97 prevented Access 97 from running because it thought there was no licence on the machine. After several calls to Microsoft, a knowledgeable support person told my the problem was a bad or missing registry entry. I made the correction and everything worked fine. Unfortunately can't recall the registry entry. Since my old Access 97 machine has died, I just installed Access 97 on my Access 2000 machine and have the same problem again. Of course, I can't seem to find a Microsoft support person who will acknowledge the problem or knows how to fix the registry. Does anyone know the registry entry I'm missing?
here's another MSKB on the same issue...

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
When you install Access 2000, you should get a screen which recognizes that Access 97 is already installaed, at that screen should give you thenoption to keep (or remove) the previous Access installation. Keep the Access 97 installation, and all should work as you expect. I have EXACTLY this configuration, Access 97 instaaled first, then Installed Office 2000 Pro(Access 2000), kept the Access 97 installation, and no problems.

4. Questions that were not helpful to you should be PAQ'd (stored in the database for their valuable content?even if not valuable to you) or deleted.
