ACCESS 2003 and ACCESS 2007 on the same machine

[Jeff Harbin]

Is it possible? I have been searching microsoft's website but cannot
find any details on how best to do this.

Thanks

Yes, make sure they are in separate directories. Also make sure that you
have SP 1 installed on Access 2007, because without it the switch between
the 2 versions will take several minutes. Even with it, the switch isn't as
quick as earlier multiple version installations.

And if, by chance, you are using Vista you will need to do this

Now is this for all versions of Access or which?

I can understand running this for Access 2000 and even 2002/XP and
maybe, just maybe A2003 but for A2007?

Sorry to go just a little off topic but I had installer run many times when
switching between 2007 and 2003 on same machine. Was it my install or has
something changed? Of note, it was on my work system where I had many
restrictions/security stuff I couldn't control. For instance no control of
trusted locations, had to sign all projects.

No, that's always been the situation. A2007 SP1 shortened that time
down considerably.

IT really locked things down on you then.
