We are in the process of updating some workstations to Office 2000. 

However, they need to access databases created in Access 97 (we will not be 

coverting them to 2000 because other workstations need to access them and 

they continue to use Office 97). Our primary concern is with Merge letters 

into Word 2000 from an Access 97 database, as well as concerns about .DLL 

conflicts, etc. Has anyone had any (good or bad) experience with Access 97 

and merge letters in Word 2000? What is your recommendation in this 

situation? MS-knowledge base has some articles on DAO/Object referencing 

that might have to be done, but no apparent compatibility issues. One 

option is to have both Office 97 and 2000 installed on the new 

workstations.



Any thoughts, comments, or personal experiences would be grateful.



Thanks,

Eric

Eric,



From my own experience, you need to have at least both Access 97 and Access

2000 installed on the same machine.  There is a knowledge based article on

MS web site how to do this.  Just another "fiddle" from wondeful world of

Microsoft....
