Access 2002 and 2003

[Steve]

Hi

Can Access 2002 and 2003 be installed on the same PC ? If yes, please point
me to any link that I can get more info on this.

Thanks
Steve

Yes.

Install A2002 first.

Then do a CUSTOM install of A2003, and you can indictate you do not want
A2002 removed.

Not sure why you would want both though. The file format is identical, so
you would never use A2002 if you had A2003 installed on the same machine.

Thanks Allen for your reply.

I'll try your advice and see how. When you said selecting "do not want
A2002 removed", do I have to be installing in a different folder as I did in
the past when I installed Office97 and Office 2000 on the same PC ?

Well, I would want both because we have an accounting software vendor that
says their product doesn't support A2003 (only A2002).

Thanks
Steve

Office 2003 installs itself into an "Office11" folder under the one you
specify, but we still specify our own folders as well.
