Install 32 bit Access Runtime as separate user form 64 bit Office

[1DMF]

Hi,

Is it possible to install the 32 bit Access runtime as a separate user from the main laptop user who has 64bit Office installed?

I tried to install the runtime on the main user account and it moaned that you can't have 32bit & 64bit mixed office environemnt.

Is there a way round this?

I need to get our access DB (32bit) to run on this machine that has 64 bit office installed.

I know there is always the VM route but hoped to find a work round without the need for the user to learn VM.

Cheers,

you can load a second install of a 32 bit office, or just Access by installing the program into a different root Office Suite folder. You can not use the same Programs Files\Office.... folder structure. It will separate the instances. We are running Office 2000 along side Office 2010, both instances and versions work independantly
