MS Access Forum / Conversion / April 2005Running an Access 95 application
Hi here, I have to run an Access 95 application for testing purposes. On my machine I only have a later version of Access. I don't mind installing Access 95 also, but I was told that this will give conflicts with the later version. Is this true? Can I expect conflicts? What can I eventually do to prevent such conflicts? AFAIK, you can run Access 95 and other versions of Access on the same machine without any problems (other than the fact that Access 95 was probably the worst version of Access ever released...) Just make sure you install into a separate folder. You might have to reinstall whatever other version of Access you have if you want it to be your default: if you do, make sure you don't let Access uninstall previous versions.

You can't do a completely clean install of A95 and A97, because they both use VBA 5, so those components will inevitably be updated to the latest version. Jet version and DAO version are different, and won't overlap: Don't simultaneously open a file in both A95 and A97, because the two Jet versions are not completely compatible. apart from that I don't know.

I assume you mean that VBA 6 will remain intact and that VBA 5 is not installed? Is VBA 6 downward compatible? VBA 6 and 5 are, as far as I know, completely independent. VBA is bound in to the parent program. A2000 can't use VBA 5 at all, and A97 can't use VBA 6 at all. Installing A95 will install VBA 5 if it is not already installed, which will have no effect at all on A2K and VBA6. VBA shares components with VB and Windows: A95 running on Windows XP will not be 'exactly' the same as A95 running on Windows 95 was. There are some VB files which are functionally equivalent between VB and VBA (A95 loads the runtime version if the VB full retail version is not already loaded), and there are Active X controls like the Graph Control that are functionally equivalent in different versions, but there is no direct overlap between VB5 and VB6 (david) "Peter de Valen?a via AccessMonster.com" <forum@AccessMonster.com> wrote in message news:e3223ea244f040b79d73c489b70308e7@AccessMonster.com... >I have Office 2000 on my machine.
