I recently upgraded to Office 2003 pro, and told it to get rid of 2000. Realized too late that some programs (such as FMS Develper Suite) do not yet include the components to work with 2003 version-single compnent ugrades are just too expensive. Speed Ferret has not yet released a new version to work with Access 2003. So I need to have Access 2000 back.

Can someone please advise? Microsoft KB 826319 indicates you have to UNINSTALL Office 2003, re-install your previous version, the do a custom re-install of 2003 to preserve whatver components you need. Since I'm running Windows XP pro, can I do a system restore to BEFORE my Office 2003 install, and then do a custom re-install of Office 2003 and leave Access 2000 intact? It seems that doing it this way would eliminate me from having to get all the updates again for Office 2000 and be alot easier in the long run. Appreciate any recommendations on the best approach. montrose
