Does anyone know if it's possible to install office 2000 and 2003 on the same machine. I need to be able to develope in both access 2000 and 2003. I know you can install 2000 and 97 together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Jeremy
 
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.

that's terrific. Thanks Ken. I couldn't find anything in the microsoft white pages about this, whereas I had found it for installing individual components from different versions.
thanks again I'll give it a try.
