Well, we can't get it to work and i've spent about a week goofing with it,
and googling, and even hiring a consluting firm and no luck.

Basically, on our systems, a 2003 server with a fresh install of access 97
doesn't work completely...you can do everything we want to do besides use
buttons on forms, and that is necessary for our environment. If you have any
more ideas on how to manually do the dll files or whatever, I'd be happy to
try them.

The application doesn't work on any of our 2003 machines, so I have to assume
thei installation is bad on all of them based on your information. I do not
have any registry cleaner :(

I have office 97 pro for my install.

The registry cleaner for Office 97 is a program they created for the
purpose of clearing out all the crud put in the registry by an
Office installation. It's called Eraser97. It used to be
downloadable from the MS website.

Eraser should be on the Office 97 CD. There's another version on the Office
2000 CD that will also work. I've used it to clean an Access 97 registry. On
the Office 2000 CD, I believe it's called something like: ofcln.exe and it's
in the CD root directory.

One cannot install Access SP2 unless SP1 is installed , unless the CD is
already preloaded with both of the SPs. There are a few serious bugs in
Access 97 which require that both SPs be installed.

I have sr0. I install access, then sr1, then sr2 with no problems. I
downloaded the eraser 97 and it says it isn't supported by my version of
windows.

I got the install to work after an uninstall by renaming the font; however,
still have the problem and teh reglceaner won't run on 2003 fo rme.
