Installing 2 versions of office in the same computer

[Marco Castro]

My computer just got upgraded at work and it came with Office XP. I do IT
work for them and on occasion have to do work on some of our old access
databases. Unfortunately most of the computers that use these databases are
using Office 2000. I ran into some problems where queries that I had
written with XP did not work on 2000 because of missing functions. I don't
want to give up the XP version since it has extra features that I like so I
was wondering if its possible to install the access 2000 version side by
side with the XP one. Thanks for any help.

It certainly is possible. I have Access 2, 97, 2000 and 2003 installed
on my system.
