I have a user who has both Access 97 and Access 2000 on their machine.
My application is designed in 2000. How do I make certain that this application
launches in Access 2000 rather than 97?

Assming you are starting your app with a shortcut all you have to do is to
pre-append the full pathname to his copy of maaccess2k. For example if the
current shortcut has its Target property pointed to:
C:\YourAppDir\YourApp.mdb change it so it looks something like:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office2K\Office\MSACCESS.EXE"
"C:\YourAppDir\YourApp.mdb"

Note the Quotes and there is a space between the two sections.
