ACCESS 97 WITH WINDOWS XP 64 BIT

[Nicola]

hello To every one,

I'm Nicola from Padoua, Italy and i have a problem with my new PC . I have
installed Windows XP64 Pro, for to have the maximum memory in the
Motherboard from the moment that I use this Computer for 3D modelling.
Unfortunately the Program that manage , and create Codes in the company use a
ACCESS 97 database. When i Try to install the SoFtware he give me a error
where it explain that File Immage was correct ( The setup file for to run
Administration program) but had been created for a Different computer ( I
suppose 32 BIT Windows XP Pro).
So how i can manage this problem without to use another computer with the
new one? I means there is a solution for to use ACCESS 97 with XP64
technology?
Thanks a lot to every one that can support me

You might want to post in the "VirtualPC" newsgroups to see if you can run
VirtualPC within your XP64 environment. If so, you could:
* install Virtual PC
* create a new instance and install Windows XP (32 bit)
* install Access97 within that virtual machine

Good luck!
