SUMMARY
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
When you run the Microsoft Access 2000 Setup program in Maintenance Mode, and you use the Remove All command, some Access 2000 files are still not removed from your computer. This article explains how to completely remove Access, and how to completely remove Microsoft Office 2000, from your computer's hard disk.
This behavior occurs because Setup does not remove any files that may be shared with other Microsoft programs.

To completely remove Access 2000
NOTE: These steps apply to Microsoft Windows 2000-based computers; if you are using another version of the Windows operating system, modify your steps accordingly.
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
- Under Currently install programs, click Microsoft Office 2000, and then click Change.
- In the Microsoft Office 2000 Maintenance Mode dialog box, click Add or Remove Features.
- In the Update Features dialog box, click the icon for Microsoft Access for Windows, and then click Not Available. Click Update Now to remove Access.
To completely remove Office 2000
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
- Under Currently install programs, click Microsoft Office 2000, and then click Remove. Click Yes to confirm that you want to remove Office 2000.
If you want to completely remove Office 2000, not just Access 2000, you must first use the Add/Remove Programs utility in Control Panel to remove Office 2000, and then use Eraser2000.exe to remove any files that Add/Remove Programs leaves behind.
