Help!

My very old "Academic Edition" Microsoft Office 97 CD is scratched and I
still need that version of Access for a few projects! My computer software
had to be reloaded after a repair and when I noticed the scratch, I thought
I'd have to purchase an entire new package. To my relief, everything else
functions fine. Unfortunately, Access displays as a "Read Only" when I try
to pull it up. I believe that piece is within the damaged area.

Does anyone know where I could purchase just the "old" Access software?

Try contacting Microsoft. Several years ago, I needed a copy of Word 95, and only had Word 97. I called them and discovered I could get a "downgrade" for $15. If your copy is a registered (not OEM) copy, I suspect you might be able to get a replacement for the cost of postage.

Or if you want to be a bit Machievellian and you haven't done this already, you could ask for a copy of SR-2 (not the patch, the full distribution), which will both contain the full distribution of Office 97 _and_ patch a number of serious bugs.

As of a few years ago, the phone number for disk orders was 800/360-7561, and the general Microsoft number was 425/882-8080.

Good luck.
