Unfortunately I spoke too soon.
Problem has come back - and it's worse
After I downloaded the updates (both Office 2007 and 2002 - I thought I was
running MS Office 2000 but it's really 2002) I opened one of my apps with
Access 2002 and it opened perfectly. Then I opened it with 2007 - and ever
since dong that the problem is back. And now what happens is every time I
open an app Windows says it can't find it and then it re-configures either
Office 2007 or 2002 - depending on which version I'm trying to use.
Maybe the two versions are not able to co-exist on the same PC. I guess i
will ahve to uninstall the tyeh 2007 an see if that fixes things. It is
funny though as I have had the rial installed since around the end of
February and this issue just started recently.

What you are describing is the Office 2007 coffee break! The two can coexist
on a PC but each time you run "the other version" there is a reconfiguration
that takes place. So after running Access 2002, when you run Access 2007 it
needs to "install" again. After running Access 2007, when you run Access
2002 again it will need to "install". The delay is shorter going from 2007
to 2002 and the updates have made the 2002 to 2007 delay shorter that before
but it still takes time. Sorry.

You are correct about the coffee break...but the strange thing is I still
have the error messages with 2002.
Every event - in the order they occur on opening an application - fires and
causes the same message.
Here's what else I found out: I have another PC in my office that I use for
testing stuff.
I installed the 2007 trial on it and I installed ONLY Access 2000.
The coffee break behaviour still occurs but I do not get the error messages
when I run an app with Access 2000.
Next I will un-install Access 2000 and install Access 2002 and see what
happens.
The other difference is my PC is running Vista and my test PC is XP so that
complicates things too.

Based on what I've been reading, many things are possible with Vista. ;)
