If you do not have Microsoft Access on compact disc, you can download the ValuPack from the following Microsoft Web site: On the Office 97 Service Release 2 ValuPack page, click Download Now, and then click off97vpk.exe to download the ValuPack. Once the ValuePack is installed, double-click Dataacc.exe to install the Microsoft Data Access Pack.
