Can I have 3 versions of Access loaded at the same time?

[brandig]

I have clients with Access 97 and Access 2000 databases. My new client
wants thier database in Access 2003. Right now my computer has both 97
and 2000 loaded on it independently. Is there any reason why I can't
also load 2003 without overwriting 97 or 2000?

Thanks!

No reason at all.

I'm running 2.0, 97, 2000, 2002 and 2003.

Just install them in separate directories, and read the Microsoft
cautions about running two versions. See:
