Excel 2000 & 2002

[Eva Shanley]

I'm working in a support environment and really need to
have both Excel 2000 & 2002 on my PC. Does anyone know if
there are any issues with running both? Perhaps the hard
drive should be partitioned? I've had some problems with
2002 recently and wondered if having both programs could
be the cause. Thanks!

I have 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 on mine and run with no problems -- you just
need to make sure they are installed in that order.

Hard drive partitioning would undoubtedly help. Many years ago I had three
versions on my machine but never successfully got them to co-exist. wrong
help files, etc.

If you do set them both up I would have a shortcut on the desktop to both
executables so you know which version your opening.

Thanks to both Lady Layla and Nick for the responses; I'll
pass the info on to our Techs. I may have to go the
partitioned hard drive route as I am having problems for
whatever unknown reason.
