do I need to uninstall office 2007 and reinstall 2000 on this XP box?

yes, when you have multiple versions of Access it will list the most recent version so you would probably need to uninstall 2007 until such time as you have everyone going to it (OR as I said, if you have separate frontends then it won't matter to everyone else which versions you have).

But it would still potentially have a problem with you trying to use 2000 and it having the 12 reference in there.

Opened Access 2000 (Not 2007) and opened the database. Went to the Tools > references to find that 9.0 is replaced with 12.0.

I was expecting to find 9.0 since I did not open the database with Access 2007.
How can I fix this.

You said you were going to use Access 2000, uninstall Access 2007 from the Office 2007 suite.

Using the CD or Add/Remove Programs under Control panel?

 

[SOS]

Use Add/Remove under the Control Panel and then you might want to run the CD again for Office 2000 (after rebooting) and select the REPAIR option, just to make sure all is well.

Oops... didn't realise I replied when SOS did.

It would be better you use the CD because it would give you more options.

 

[samjesse]

Thank you all.

Actually, that isn't quite true. It will still give you those options when using the Add/Remove programs and if it needs the CD to accomplish it, it will tell you.

I was referring to uninstalling a component of the Office suite, not the whole package. I've seen cases where it doesn't prompt. Just to be on the safe side.

The reason is that you choose the wrong item. When uninstalling EVERYTHING you choose UNINSTALL. When uninstalling ONE PROGRAM you choose the option CHANGE from the Add/Remove Programs list.

In Win XP? Hmm... can't even remember what options, been too long

 

[SOS]

Yep, in XP. If you go to Add/Remove programs there are usually two buttons to select from for a program with multiple install options - CHANGE and REMOVE. You will not get both if a program doesn't have multiple install options.

Cool. That's correct!
