Bill, Office XP uses the Microsoft Jet Database Engine 4.x, and MS Access 2000 database structure. Simply installing it will cause no harm with DXbase because the Microsoft Jet Database Engine 3.x will remain intact; however, if you open your DXbase .mdb file(s) in Access 2000 and "save" them in an Access 2000 format, they will NOT be useable in DXbase any more. I think Access 2000 gives you an option to save as an Access 97 format, but not sure. You can have Access 97 and Access 2000 both on your machine at the same time, but there are some special procedures that you must follow in order to accomplish this. I don't recall the URL, but there is a full write-up about how to do this on the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
BTW, the Microsoft Knowledge Base also contains a lot of info about "bugs" in the Microsoft Jet Database engine v4.x. Some of those bugs have a fix and some don't.
