Setup question on dual XEON

On ny XP pro running 2 Xeon mb, is it possible to assigne Excel 2007 to
always launch using one XEON CPU and to assign the second XEONB to be the CPU
dedicated to running Access?

Is there any reading on MSDN or elsewhere that can teach me:
1. How to assign a particular program (such as Excel in my example above) to
a CPU? Can it even be done to always dedicate Excel to one CPU & Access to
another? And what governs the wisdom or lack thereof of doing so?
2. I had always let my NT 4 dual Pentium decide how to handle usage of the
CPUs. Now that I'm using a dual XEON, & XP Pro, what resources are there to
explain the thinking behind manual vs automatic control of the load on the
individual CPUs?

Thank in advance. I'm new to a dual XEON / XP Pro environment and want to
do my reading to see what governs the decision of how to configure CPU usage.
My basic plan was to create an icon on my desktop that launched my Excel and
always uses one CPU for whatever processing it uses & to have a similar icon
that launches Access dedicated to the other CPU. I just needed to know if
this is even possible & to become informed as regards whether it is expedient
or inexpedient.

Xeons were not intended for non- commercial use but for servers,
workstations and embedded environments.

They are either one or multiple core processors - not multiple processors.
Programs must be designed to utiliize multiple core processors Access and
Excell are not.

With all due respect, I knew each and every thing you replied. We have a
specific need to apply Excel & Access as specified. Were it not so, I'd not
be asking any questions at all. If you can't be helpful, please don't
cluuter my genuine and sincere and straightforward question with unhelpful
and uninforative replies.

Note from your post "...is it possible to assigne Excel 2007 to always
launch using one XEON CPU and to assign the second XEONB to be the CPU...."

Note from my reply "...Programs must be designed to utiliize multiple core
processors Access and Excel are not....".

Regarding your second post "...With all due respect...."
Respect??? - and "... I knew each and every thing you replied...." - did I
miss that information in your original post?

Well - anyway Albert Hall have a good day!!!

None of which directly answered the question. The correct answer was,
IIR the question correcly, there is no way to assign the Xeon-duo (one
of which I happen to have) in that manner without reasonably complex 3rd
party software when using Excel and Access. XP Pro can actually do some
of that, depending, and probably already does it where it's most useful.

Implied answers within extraneous information is not the way to answer a
question. Answer it first, THEN supply some additional prose if you
just feel you must.
