Access 97 and Office/Access 2003

[evalesthy]

Has anyone run either Access 97 or an Access 97 Runtime on an Office 2003 (with Access 2003) installed?

I have had pc's with dual installs of Access 97 and Access 2000 installed (as per MS Knowledge Base article Q241141) but have been told that 97 and 2003 will not run on the same pc. Anyone know if that is true?

Thanks

Yes you can, BUT, make sure you install the earluest version first, right up to the latest version. Choose Custom install each time, and specify a different location for each installation, eg Office09, Office10, Office11 etc. If you don't do this in this order then you will have problems with dlls. I run 97 through to 2003 all on the same machine with no issues, although you will only be able to have 1 version of outlook on your machine.

I have heard odd nuances like not being able to use File / Send To when combining One of the earlier office Apps and I think Outlook 2003, but not sure to be honest.
