Hi,

I have a problem at with Access97 and 2003 running on the same
machine.
Both applications open and work normally, except that within Access
2003, when I open a database and select - file - get external data -
Import, and then pick a file to import (e.g. Excel spread***) Access
2003 crashes and displays the "program encountered a problem error"
with the options to send to microsoft or don't send. The same function
works fine within Access 97.
If I uninstall Access 97 the functionality works fine within Access
2003.

I have both installations in completely separate locations,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried reinstalling or a repair install on Access 2003? There is
nothing particular about having the two versions installed that should cause
this problem. Many developers have 3 or 4 versions of Access on the same box.
