MS Access Forum / Setup / Configuration / February 2005Access 2002/2003 compatibility
I have developed an Access 2002 application for a client using Access 2002 on my development machine. After deploying that application, I removed Access 2002 and installed Access 2003. Now, client wants revisions to their application, but wishes to remain on Access 2002. Can I implement the revisions, avioding any new features in 2003, keeping the db in 2002 format (including the *.mde format), so that the new version with run in client's environment?

You could have kept 2002, and installed 2003 i.e. have both. > Can I implement the revisions, avioding any new features in 2003, > keeping the db in 2002 format You were OK up to here, but >(including the *.mde format), you need 2002 in order to make a mde.  SignatureJoan Wild Microsoft Access MVP Actually, I upgraded my OS from Win/2000 Server to Win/2003 Server which also involved wiping the C: drive clean. I was cleaning house. I'm hoping I can reinstall Access 2002 and keep Access 2003 too. Can I do that by installing in a different directory under "Program Files"?

When you install 2002, be sure to choose a different folder under Program Files, and also be sure to 'keep other versions'. SignatureJoan Wild Microsoft Access MVP |
