Best way to install Access 2003 & Access 2007

[Dave]

On the same system.
I have done this several tims and it seems to work fine but when even I open
say 2007 after using 2003 the machine goes thru some
"update/reinstall/setup" process that takes a few minutes.
I am doing a reformat on my laptop tonight and was wondering if there is a
"Advised" way to install.

Will probably be doing this on a Vista OS (I say probably cause I am unsure
if my laptop with take Vista).

Will also probable install Office 2003 and just add Access 2007

Any help here will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You will always get the reinstall sequence. It's a function of Office, not
Access. Install all of Office 2003 and then Office 2007 in a different
directory. If you are using Vista, turn the UAC *off*. Otherwise,
switching from 2003 to 2007 and back will corrupt 2003. See this page:
