Running Access 2003 and 2007 on laptop

[SBendBuckeye]

Hello all,

I have both MS Office 2003 and MS Office 2007 installed on my laptop. Whenever I switch Access versions, I get the Preparing to initialize Dialog. After impatiently waiting, it then opens up fine in which ever version. How can I get rid of the dialog? Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions!

I'm afraid I don't know. I run Office 2007 and Office 2000 in two virtual machines so that they don't mess with the Office XP that I use day to day.

Here are a couple ideas that will hopefully point you in the right direction:
