Please help! Question about running two versions of Access on the same computer!

[VRWC]

Hello dear People!

For the very first time I have attempted to have BOTH Access 2000 AND
Access 2002 installed on the same computer. I started with Access
2002 (XP). After I was sure the A2002 was running well, I installed
Access 2000 from my original Office 2K Pro Microsoft disks with the
only difference being that I told it to install on a different hard
disk (D instead of C).

It now appears that the A2k version is the DEFAULT version when ever I
launch ANY MDB or MDE file. That's in itself is not a problem but
what IS a problem is some startup behavior I have never seen from
Access before: EVERY time I launch an Access app, Windows pops up a
"must install this feature " box (or words to that effect. It does
not prompt me for any disk inserts and it only takes about 5 seconds
for this process to complete at which time it loads and runs the app
normally.

Any clues on how to fix this irritating little problem?

Thanks in advance for all responses.

From what I've read in the past in these threads you install the
earliest version first, then the next version, then the next version,
and so on.. You might end up with some error message that tells you
that you have an invalid license but do a search for invalid license at
google for the solution it that problem crops up. So...
Uninstall Office. both versions.
Reinstall 2000
Reinstall XP (different directory)
