Access 2003 and Access 2007 on same workstation

[Marcus Smaby]

Sorry, this has probably been asked a thousand times.

Can I install Access 2007 on a machine with Access 2003 and keep both
versions. I used to do this with Access 2000 and 2003. Since I am a
developer, I need to test and develope with the customers version.

TIA

Marcus

Yes you can. However, be aware that there's currently a problem so that
whenever you switch from one version to the other, it'll take several
minutes.

Hi, Marcus.

Sorry, this has probably been asked a thousand times.

Nah. Less than 100 times so far. But if you and the others had searched
before asking the question, it would have been only been asked once.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have dual boot or Virtual PC to
keep the Access versions separate. It takes rather a long time to switch
between versions when Access 2007 is installed with another version, and
there are still a few bugs to contend with.

HTH.
