A2007 runtime on computer withA2003

[gg]

I sent one of my users an A2007 runtime file. He has a computer with XP and
A2003. After the runtime.exe download, the runtime installation appeared to
work. But, his A2003 programs "went wild". Buttons wouldn't function for
example. I can't find any cautions in the microsoft write-ups. Is there
some thing that has to be done to make the runtime work when A2003 is
present? When he uninstalled the exe file, all started working again, after
several tries.

I know that I could have made an mdb file for him, but intent is to send a
runtime file to all users. That way they can run the program on any of their
computers with XP or later, even those without Access.

Thanks in advance

I didn't think Access2003 got that bad after an install of the access2007
runtime but currently I do not of any solution that works other than
sagekey. Usually you just have some reconfiguring when you switch between
access 2003 and access 2007 runtime.

Here's an article that describes my experience with sagekey:
