Installing Access 97 and 2000 on same pc!

[Ricky1946]

Hello all you genius's out there,
I have heard that it is possible to install Access 97 and 2000 on the same machine to meet different customers requirements. Is this possible? If it is do I need to partition my hard drive to do this? If I do not doesn't it cause aproblem with the different Windows packages.
I would appreciate any comments.

Thanks in advance,
Ian Richards

Hi Ian

I currently run both Office 97 and Office 2000 (both including Access) on my PC. Office 97 was already in place, and I simply installed the 2000 version in a separate sub-directory. It runs like a charm. The only noticeable event is that when switching from Access 97 to Access 2000 is that there is a short installation process to start Access 2000.

All the best with it. Hope this works as well for you as it does for me!

This should help its from the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

ACC2000:How to Install Access 97 & Access 2000 on same Computer - Q241141

It worked for me.
