One caveat that I discovered - if you are installing Access 2000 make sure that your users
have permissions to the temp directory. Access 2000 compacts to that directory and then
copies the compacted .mdb back to its source folder but it will retain the permissions of
the temp directory. That may lock out your users. Affects only Access 2000 on XP.
