How do I go back to Access 2000 after upgrading to Office XP Pro

[Guest]

I recently upgraded with the latest downloads for Office XP Pro and now have
Access 2002. But now an application I use doesn't work and others users of
the application are still on Access 2000 and it's working fine. What do I
need to do to go back to Access 2000. Can I just re-install Access 2000 or do
I need to de-install 2002 first and if so, how do I do that ?

Could you provide more details on 'doesn't work'? Access 2002 uses the 2000
format by default, so it should have no problems with your 2000 application.
And if it does, then there are likely problems running it in 2000 as well.

But to answer your question, you can install 2000 without uninstalling 2002.
Just be sure to install it to a separate folder and don't uninstall existing
versions. Then you can have both versions.

you really shoudn't have a problem using a 2000 file with 2002
