Installing 2007 Beta

[Guest]

Can Access 2007 be installed without removing any previous versions? I'd like
to get used to the new version but I don't want to uninstall my current
version. Can they both be run on the same system?

 

[Jeff Conrad]

Yes.

You'll need to make sure to select the Custom Install, choose not to remove previous versions, and
select a new folder to install the Beta version.

I don't, however, recommend you install a beta version alongside your other versions. The beta
builds were still "works in progress" and quite buggy. I only feel comfortable installing the RTM
build alongside my other Access versions.

I didn't think of that. I'll wait then before I install the beta version. I
do have another pc I can install the beta on to play with it. Thanks Jeff!

Also keep in mind that the beta will timeout in a number of months.
Just sure when exactly.

Yeah the CD cover says it will expire on Feb 1, 2007. By then I'll have the
new version anyways. I just wanted to tinker with it. I can wait. Thanks!

Working with an Access 2007 beta build on a test machine should be fine.
