Hi
When I try to run access 97 I get the message 'Microsoft Access couldn't
find file c:\windows\syst em32\system.mdw '. When I try to create the
system.mdw file using workgroup administrator, I get the message 'An error
has occurred at changing workgroup database.'.
What is the problem and how can I fix it?
Regards

As I learned today Access will re-create the system.mdw file if you
delete the default one, just like Word will do if you delete Normal.dot.
Search for system.mdw (sometimes you end up with more than one) and
delete them, hopefully that will take care of it.
BTW if you have stored information (system security information for
Access user level security) don't delete this file unless you are ready to
re-create it and even then I would keep a copy of it just encase.

Nope did not work. Also made sure that temp & tmp variables are pointing to
valid folder still did not work.
Not sure what to do now. The system already has access 2003 which came
preinstalled with dell pc. The reason I am installing access 97 is that I
have an old application written in access 97 which we can not do without.

Actually I don't believe the "create a new System.mdw upon startup" feature
existed before Access 2000.
Are you running as a user with authority to create files in the System32 folder?

Oh new information 2003 with 97. I seem to recall some known issues
with running both at the same machine. Sorry I don't recall the reference.
I believe you can convert the 97 file to 2003, but as I recall there are
some issues.

yes, it can join it but then access gives an out of memory error. others

Access 97 (or was it Jet 3.5?) had a bug where out of memory was reported on
systems with 1 GB of RAM or more. Does that apply to you? There was a patch
for that.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
