SUMMARY
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

Microsoft Access version 2.0 includes commands to uninstall, or remove, many but not all of its components. This article describes how to remove a typical, single-user installation of Microsoft Access 2.0 from your hard disk.



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
 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. Choose Remove All. When you are prompted "Are you sure you want to remove this application?" choose Yes. 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. After the uninstall process is completed, use File Manager to remove your Microsoft Access 2.0 directory and any files it contains.  Use File Manager to remove these files from the Windows directory:

     CCARD200.EXE MSACC20.INI   Use File Manager to remove these files from the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory:

CAUTION: Many of these files are shared with other Windows applications. Do not delete these files if you have other applications, such as Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0, Microsoft Excel 5.0, or Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows, that share these files with Microsoft Access 2.0.

<pre class="fixed_text">     BTRV200.DLL CCAPI200.DLL COMPOBJ.DLL DAO2016.DLL DBNMP3.DLL DRVACC2.HLP DRVSSRVR.HLP MSABC200.DLL MSAEXP20.DLL MSAJT200.DLL MSJETERR.DLL MSJETINT.DLL OLE2.DLL OLE2.REG OLE2CONV.DLL OLE2DISP.DLL OLE2NLS.DLL OLE2PROX.DLL PDX200.DLL SQLSRVR.DLL SQORA.DLL STDOLE.TLB STORAGE.DLL TYPELIB.DLL XBS200.DLL </li>  Use File Manager to remove these ODBC files from your Windows directory:

CAUTION: Do not remove ODBC files if other applications, such as Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0, Microsoft Excel 5.0, or Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows, that share these ODBC files with Microsoft Access 2.0 are installed on your computer.

<pre class="fixed_text">     ODBC.INI ODBCINST.INI </li>  Use File Manager to remove these ODBC files from the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory:

CAUTION: Do not remove ODBC files if other applications, such as Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0, Microsoft Excel 5.0, or Microsoft Word 6.0 for Windows, that share these ODBC files with Microsoft Access 2.0 are installed on your computer.

<pre class="fixed_text">     ODBC.DLL ODBCADM.EXE ODBCADM.HLP ODBCINST.DLL ODBCINST.HLP ODBCJT16.DLL ODBCTL16.DLL </li> Remove the ODBC icon from the Windows Control Panel as follows:

<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> Open the CONTROL.INI file located in the Windows directory with a text editor such as Windows Notepad.</li> Under the [MMCPL] section, change the NumApps entry to one less than the current number.</li> Also under the [MMCPL] section, delete the ODBC= line.</li> Save the CONTROL.INI file and close it.</li></ol> </li></ol>
