Hello all,

I have a problem that I could really use some help on. I apologize if 
this topic has come up before, but I am new to this site and I didn't 
find it when I searched the archive. Anyways, here goes:

I developed a database application using Access XP w/ SP2 and am 
attempting to use the XP Developer Packaging Wizard to deploy the 
application. My problem is when I create the package (including the 2002 
RunTime) and install it on a machine with Access 97 my app runs fine, but 
if a user tries to open any pre-exisiting 97 apps using desktop icons 
they get error messages. I installed the Office XP Service Pack 1 and the 
Packaging Wizard Patch and it still happens. The problem is I am going to 
be distributing this app to a number of users that have 97 apps already 
on their machine so I need to find a way for the two run-times to co-
exist. Any ideas? Is this doable? Please say yes!!! Thanks in advance for 
your help and Happy Holidays!

Joe
