Myoffice uses Access 97 and for sme reason refuses to upgrade to the
latest version. I have Office professional and would like to do some
work on my DBs at home. I would like to be able to run 97 and 2003
seperately on the same computer. Is this possible? How do I do it?
I prefer to install them in version order, into different directories,
preferrrably on different virtual drives. It makes it easier to distingush
which files goe where. There is only 1 problem that you need to be aware of.
Access 97 will silently register (or re-register) itself every time it is
run. That means the next time you start a file, it will automatically try to
start in Access 97. To avoid this, find the file named msaccess.srg in the
same folder as the executable, then rename it to msaccess_srg.old or
something like it. Open a new empty notepad text file and rename it to
msaccess.srg.
To make it easier to open the right file in the right version, put a
shortcut to each executable in your SendTo folder, then just right-click on
an mdb and send it to the correct version.
