Hi there,
I want to install Excel 2003 in parallel to Office 2007. How can I do that
and what steps do I have to follow (i.e. order of installation, a repair of
Office 2007 afterwards, etc..) and will it create issues with Office 2007?
Explanation:
I am working with SharePoint 2007 and noticed a problem. Having Office 2007
installed, I can easily edit SP2007 lists offline with Access 2007. However,
this will create Access 2007 files that are not accessible by my fellow
Office/Access 2003 users.
So I need to revert back to editing SP lists offline with the help of Excel.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has decided to move the "Lists" functionality
(which provides bi-directional/online synchronisation with SharePoint lists)
over to Access 2007.
Excel 2007 is not able to fully synchronize with a SharePoint list (only
synchronizing one way, but not bi-directional). There is an add-in that
*should* allow this functionality again, *but* I was not able to have it
work in my environment. It constantly crashes when I try to publish to the
SP site.In any case, it's better to have the same excel version as my
co-workers. At least for that one task.
Thanks
