I don't think that you can. I think that it's something to do with having only one installation of the Jet engine but I'll be looking back here to hope that I'm wrong!

I have managed this by installing one of them into a separate folder, don't just take the defaults, as you risk overwriting one of them. Create a folder called Access 97 off the c: drive and let the other one be in Program Files. Set up an icon for 97 and open the program first before opening a database in 97.
