Installing both Access 2003 and 2007

[davesmith202]

I've already got Office 2007 installed on my PC, but also want to have Access 2003 on there too.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Dave

Simply install Access 2003 normally with one exception. You should place it into a separate folder than your Access 07.
The default folder is Office.
On my computer, Office 07 is in the Office folder
Office03 is in a folder named Office03.

Im my expereince they install in separate folders anyway but it probably depends on the installation order and particular version.
There is a dialog which asks if you want to upgrade or have both versions installed.

Each time you change to the other version Access will reregister. This can take up to a few minutes. Do not hit the cancel button. You must let it reregister.

If you want to swap a lot it is best to run one of them in a virtual machine.

How do you do a virtual machine? Is that extra software I need?
