Access 2002 and 2003

[QuickQuestion]

Can I have Office XP and 2003 on the same computer?
or Office 2003 and also Access 2002 loaded on the same
computer? Without partitioning the drive?

Yes, you can have multiple versions of Office on the same computer (only 1
version of Outlook, though); and Office 2003 and Access 2002 on the same box
is also do-able. Generally, you would want to install starting with the
oldest version, make sure that each version is installed in a different
folder, and when you start the install make sure that you do not check the
box that tells Office to overwrite the previous installation.

Below is a link to a Microsoft KB article on the subject, with more detail.
Although it refers to Office 97 and 2000, the principles are the same for
other versions.
