Bill,

What version of "Office Pro" are you trying to install?  e.g I have Office Proffesional 2000, but there are older and later versions.

Use the System Restore and restore the system to a date PRIOR to first trying to install Office.  That should "clear out" any attempts.  As a side note on System Restore, many programs will set a restore point when they install but I always manually set a restore point before I install any software or any software updates, that way I have a restore point if I run into problems.

Fireberd,

I have Microsoft Office Access 2003

Part of Microsoft Office Pro 2003 is what it says.

How do I restore?

Bill, I take it you only have Access and want to install it.  If so, it should be a "standalone" installation woth the necessary installation files.

However, if you have the Office suite (Office Professional) and you just want to install one application, you have to do a custom installation and then only select the one you want to install, and in this case Access.  On my Office 2000 Pro, there is an installation option to Add or Remove features and that's what I would use if I wanted to install an application that I didn't install initially.  I don't know if that has changed in later versions.

Fireberd,

Why would I have to reinstall when I have been running Access for only a few weeks? Can't  I just delete the unwanted files?

Bill, from your original post I took it you were trying to install Access and the reason for all my answers.

What "unwanted files" are you referring to? 

Fireberd,

I had apparently created a part of a Database for my Interior Designer wife. It contained a Customer Master File having Title, First Name, Middle Name or Initial, Last Name, Address, Suite or Unit, City, State, Zip, Home Phone, Business Phone, Cell Phone, FAX, Entry Date, Sale Total, Last Date, e-mail address, and a Mail Flag as to whether this Customer shoud be mailed to in a Mailing List.

I also had a CityName list I was going to use in a dropdown.

This tables, and the Forms for creating them seem to appear and disappear. Sometimes I caan find them, sometimes not. Where are they going?

Oh, an application issue.  I've only had limited application experience with Access but check the various "views" to see if one of those is the culprit.  Abach or someone else can probably give you more specific info.  I'm still in the dBaseIV days....
