Access 2007 beta2 TR

[JimS]

When I installed Access 2007 beta, it overwrote Access (Office) 2003. I need
to go back to 2003. I have the install disks, but I don't know exactly how to
do that...some complications:

1. I have Access 97 installed as well, for client support. I need to keep it.
2. I have Outlook 2007 beta 2tr also installed. I'm not sure how to go back
to Outlook 2003. I think Outlook converted the pst files... Thus, I need to
retrofit Access and not Outlook.

My preferrence would be to keep 97, 2003, and 2007 on the same computer at
the same time...

Ideas?

Your safest bet, especially when experimenting with beta software, is to
never install it on a machine that you need to use for your ordinary work. If
your PC has enough horsepower, consider downloading and installing VirtualPC
from Microsoft. It's a free download.

"Microsoft Virtual PC enables you to run multiple PC-based operating systems
simultaneously on your computer, which makes it an idea tool for testing and
deploying new software. Microsoft recently announced that effective
immediately, Virtual PC is available as a free download from the Microsoft
Virtual PC 2004 site http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx
..
Virtual PC 2007 will also be a free download when it becomes available in
2007."
