that's actually incorrect. i am currently running both office versions.
(at one point, i had 4.3 on there, too!)
the key with microsoft is to install their products in DATE ORDER, oldest
first. if you install 97, then 2000, selecting "do not remove old
applications" in the 2000 install, they'll play together nicely.

oops, Microsoft strike again :-)
As far as I know there is NO way to get both versions running on the same
machine (thanks Microsoft).
The error you are getting is a cracker, and you will have fun getting rid of
it! The problem is caused by the fact that Office 2000 does not completely
remove it's self when you uninstall it and your machine is now convinced you
are trying to run the wrong version of the software with the wrong licence.
The only way to solve it is to uninstall both versions of office, then run a
utility provided by Microsoft (see the URL's at the end of the email) to
finish the uninstall for you, then reinstall the version of office you want
to run.
The best way to avoid this problem is not to have ANY version of office on
the server, just install the latest copy of the MDAC (2.5 I think) which
will provide read/write access to all versions of Access databases (but ONLY
if they are not replicable) and do all your modifications on other machines.
