per MS Knowledge base, but it still refuses to find
office anywhere and shuts its down....please help.

Thanks regards Paul

Your upgrade version is looking for an older or prior version of Access.

Rerun setup and when it promps "cannot find Office" pop in your prior
version cd. The installer will find it, then reinsert your Access disk,
complete your install from there.
