The probability is high that previously you installed Office 97 Pro, or
Word
97, so the graphics sup****t was installed along with it. Graphics sup****t
is not a feature of Access 97, so likely the proper versions of the DLL
are
not installed, even though the proper versions for Office 2000 and 2003
are/may be.
It is very likely that setting the proper reference could give your Access
97 app access to the newer version of the graphics DLLs, but I do not know
what reference you should set for this purpose.
Maybe someone else can tell you what reference to set... alternatively,
you
could reinstall Office 97 Pro, make sure the graphics sup****t is
installed,
then uninstall any of the Office 97 programs that you will not want to
use.
