I have a need to have both A2000 and A2003 running on the same PC in order to
support my customers. Are there any compatibility issues with running both
A2000 and A2003 on the same PC? A2003 would be installed in a different
directory.

Thanks

I have 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 all loaded onto my home PC.
No big problems at all.

The general rule of thumb is to install in lowest order first into
separate directories, but some people have installed in random
order with no problems. So as long as they are in separate
directories you should be fine. I also recommend making
sure all service packs and updates have been applied
to all versions.

Thank you ... I thought I could do it without a problem by putting the
different versions in different directories.
