Yes.

Do a custom install so the installer does not remove the previous version,
and make sure you specify a different folder.

There can be some issues with versioning of ActiveX controls, but the Access
stuff works fine. I'm replying from a machine that has Access 97, 2000,
2002, and 2003 all installed under the same OS and on the same partition.

Yes. But the older version MUST be installed first.

What order did you install the different versions in? I assume the last to
be installed was your default program, or did you manually edit the
registry?

Thanks.

Tom.

Tom, I did install them in order (which is what MS recommends).
However, I have installed out-of-order sometimes, with no bad effect.

No reg. hack needed, though I do hack the reg to get Design View as the
default for Table design.
Go to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Wizards\TableDesign\Table Design
Set Index to 0.
For Datasheet View, set Index to 1.
