Office 365 and 2003 on same computer

[Mike375]

I have Office 365 subscription on one computer. I would like to also put it on a second computer which has 2003. However, I don't want lose Access 2003 as I still prefer it for making applications and they run fine on 2013 whether converted or left as the .mdb file.

I mainly want to do it so I can run the .accdb files on both computers.

when you install A365/2013 it asks if you want to remove previous versions. just say no

the only issue I have is very occasionally, A2003 decides to update the access library from v11 to v15, which makes stuff stop working. When it does this you need to repair A2003. Bear that in mind when you get strange errors - generally stuff like "event not supported"

I cannot isolate what causes the library to update.

Thanks Dave.

I think I might leave well alone and bite the bullet and practice more on 2013 and especially since you can use 2013 to make an application for 2003 mdb format.
