A client has a 2000 Access database that needs to be modifed, and we don't
know if they're ready to be pushed into a version upgrade at this time. I
know that I can save an Access program in the ver. 2000 format, but I would
prefer to have the actual environment so I don't accidentally use a property
or command that doesn't exist in the old version.
Can Access 2000 be installed on my PC (OS Windows 7) without screwing up
Access 2007? If so, can Access 2000 still be downloaded from Microsoft?

Yes. Access 1.0 can be installed on Windows 7. On the other hand, A2000 was
the WORST version (since the late unlamented Access95) for bugs. If you must
install an old version I'd use 2002 or 2003. And no, they cannot be
downloaded, to my knowledge.
