Re: Access XP and CF?
I agree, if it ain't broke... However, I'm still using Office '97. And I have lots of memory and disk space, which I know XP is going to want buckets of, so I was thinking it might be time to upgrade. plus I won the software as a prize in a golf tournament, so it didn't cost me anything ;D Thanks to all for your advice. It was very helpful.

RE: Access XP and CF?
Actually, in Office XP they introduced another tier of security. If you're accessing a network drive that's being restricted based upon your Internet Explorer settings (which I believe by default is any network drive mapped by an IP addy,) then there are some configuration changes you'll need to make.
