windows xp pro and access 97

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Small business with 2 desktops and 2 laptops all running xp pro. Access 97
database runs fine on both desktops, but "add record" feature on forms
unavailable when transferred to either laptop. One laptop used to run
windows me and I didn't have this problem then. Does xp pro run access 97
databases differently on desktops and laptops? Would converting the databases
to access 2003 help?
