MS Access Forum / Setup / Configuration / April 2008running both Access 2000 and 2003
Can I have both Access 2000 and 2003 on the same PC (running XP)? >Can I have both Access 2000 and 2003 on the same PC (running XP)? Yes. I do it all the time. You need to add explicit path and file names of the appropriate versions of access to all the shortcuts. For example "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 97\Office\msaccess.exe". Including the quotes if you have any spaces in the path name which is very likely. There are some programs out there which will automatically start the appropriate version of Access. ACCVER - Allows you to work with multiple versions of MS Access databases. Detects the version of Access used to create your MDB, MDE or MDA files and either reports the version number or starts the appropriate version of MS Access. http://www.aylott.com.au/accver.htm Total Access Startup http://www.fmsinc.com/products/startup AccessOpener http://www.openaccess.co.za/BlackAndWhiteInc/AccessOpener.htm Also see: INFO: Access 2000/Access 97 Coexistence FEPs (Frequently Experienced Problems) http://www.trigeminal.com/usenet/usenet019.asp?1033 Subject: INFO: Avoiding the default system.mdw loss when re-registering Access 97 http://www.trigeminal.com/usenet/usenet018.asp Tony  SignatureTony Toews, Microsoft Access MVP Please respond only in the newsgroups so that others can read the entire thread of messages.
