2003 and 2007 on the same machine

[Arturo]

I need to have 2003 and 2007 on the same machine. I have read all the posts I
can find about this issue. They all seem to have been posted in the year
2008.

Is there any new information on the subject? Is it easily done now? Are
there any installation issues I shoud be aware of?

Thank you for your help.

Works fine.

Well, for some definition of "fine". It's highly annoying, but it
works. And I have to be careful about getting impatient and
cancelling one of the "configuring" dialogs, since that can leave
things in a state that cause one or the other of your Access
versions to behave eratically.

I use a Virtual Machine to run Office 2003, running the oldest OS still in
use by any of my clients. That keeps my main Office 2007 workstation clean
without the switching back and forth issues.
