All went well until we put Office back in. Access 97 is
complaining about missing files. Is this a known
imcompatibility, or what? And why didn't the MS check find
the problem in the first place? That was why we ran it,
after all, and this is an MS bit of software we're trying
to install.

And I got a private email to the same effect.
Thanks: I will try again, secure in the knowledge that
this *can* be done. (I'd hate to spend the evening
attempting the impossible).

Search the Microsoft Knowledgebase for the error message. It is an install bug in 97, not XP. The steps to correct it are mind boggling (rename a font, delete some file, reinstall, rename font or something like that) but it works.
