Ok, so here is what I have done, over a period of years.
On a computer that already had Office 97 loaded, I
installed Office 2K Developer and Developer Tools, keeping
97 (still need it). Installed Office XP Pro w/FP and XP
Developer, keeping 2K. Installed SQL Server Development
Tools to manage my data on a remote SQL Server. All 3
versions of Access and SQL working fine.
Attempted to run Office Update (needed update for Access
XP Runtime). Microsoft's Office Update site looped on me,
installing the Office 2K update, but after reboot,
claiming it hadn't been installed. It wouldn't let me do
any XP updates until 2K update (SP-2 I think) was done.
Realizing I no longer need 2K, I uninstalled it. Did not
uninstall 2K Developer Tools. Office Update now says I
have no remaining updates to do.
Access XP ADP file (SQL back end) is giving me trouble.
Apparently, components have become "un" registered, or
their registry entries are corrupt or just wrong. SQL
Enterprise Manager gives errors (attempting to view design
of my database diagram) or gives and IPF (attempting to
view an existing DTS package). Office Links on Access
reports don't work.
Ran SQL Server Installation CD, Registry Rebuild (provided
same info as original install), problems still exist.
Do I uninstall and reinstall? Office XP? Developer
Tools? If so, in what order? Aaaauuuuugh. Bonus points
and extra credit to whomever has the right answer.
