No, each version of Word, Excel, etc . etc. etc. etc. (for the whole
software industry) usually works with the version it is designed for.

So, no...you can mix the deployment kit.

Remember, the ms-access runtimes are NOT different from the regular version
of ms-access. You are installing a WHOLE VERSION of ms-access but only the
parts to use the "design" mode and some interface stuff is removed. All else
runs the same as the full version. The runtime is in fact installing
ms-access on the computer, and you even get all of the headaches of trying
to install different versions of ms-access on a computer. So, just like
installing two different versions of ms-access on a pc can be a real
problem, if you create a runtime in 2003 and install on a pc with a2000,
then you get all those tons of problems here. All of the horrible problems
of installing different versions of ms-access on a pc STILL exist when you
use the runtime.

Using the runtime is JUST like installing a full version of ms-access, and
you need to use the same cautions when installing multiple versions of
ms-access on the same pc.
