Access 2.0 and 97 under XP

[mscertified]

We are cxurrently running Windows 2000 and we support Access databases 2.0,
97 and 2000 versions. We will shortly be upgraded to XP. Will we have any
problems supporting Accesss 2.0 or 97 or converting them to Access 2000 under
XP. Are there any official MS guidelines for this.

I have WindowsXP Pro and have had no trouble running A97 or even A2.0.
If you're planning to upgrade to Access2003 you *will* need to use the
XP operating system, I believe - it certainly won't run on Windows98
or ME.

I couldn't run access 2.0 on my xp, got to do with running 16bit on 32bit,
was there something you can do to enable it?

<trying> Hm. Nothing unusual required. Just clicked on the Access2
icon in my AccessVersions folder.
