ACC2: How to Uninstall Microsoft Access Version 2.0 (112138)

MORE INFORMATION

Before you uninstall Microsoft Access, you should back up any databases (any .MDB or .MDA files) created in Microsoft Access 2.0. If you implemented any security in your Microsoft Access 2.0 database system, make sure to back up the SYSTEM.MDA file.

You might also want to save your data tables in another format, such as Microsoft Access version 1.x, dBASE IV, or text delimited. The steps for saving Microsoft Access 2.0 tables in version 1.x format are described below. For more information on exporting data to other formats, search on "exporting data: basics" using the Microsoft Access Help menu.

Saving Microsoft Access 2.0 tables in 1.x Format

1. In Microsoft Access 2.0, choose Export from the File menu.
2. In the Data Destination box, select Microsoft Access.
3. Select the table to export, then choose OK.
4. Select a Microsoft Access 1.x database to export the table to.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each of your tables.

Uninstalling Microsoft Access 2.0

1. Run Microsoft Access Setup by double-clicking the MS Access Setup icon in your Microsoft Access 2.0 program group in Program manager, or by running SETUP.EXE from the ACCESS\SETUP directory in File Manager.
2. Choose Remove All. When you are prompted "Are you sure you want to remove this application?" choose Yes.
3. If you are prompted to remove shared components for Microsoft Graph and MSInfo, choose Keep if you have other applications, such as Microsoft Word for Windows or Microsoft Excel, that share these applications.
4. After the uninstall process is completed, use File Manager to remove your Microsoft Access 2.0 directory and any files it contains.
