Is it possible to run Access 97 on Windows Vista? I have installed
Access 97 and Access 2000, when I run Access 2000, then try to open
Access 97 it says it cant find the windows registry entries?
Re-Installing Access 97 seems to fix it until I open Access 2000 again.

I have run both Access 97 and Access 2000 on all previous versions of
windows without any problems.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As the article explains, the issue is that Windows Vista doesn't give Access
enough priviliges to re-write the registry when it loads.
