I need to develop in Access 2002 - how do I get it?

I need to get Access 2002 to assist in development for a client. I have a PC
with XP Pro and Office 2003 and wonder if the 2 versions can co-mingle on the
same PC without corruption. If so, I can't find a place to buy Access 2002
---or is it legal to load a copy (where do I get one) since I purchased the
latest version 2003 already. Thanks for your help.

Unless you need to create .mde files for your client in ACCESS 2002, or you
need to create runtime versions of the application, you can do the
development work in ACCESS 2003, and the client can run the application
using ACCESS 2002. There are very few enhancements in 2003 that are not
available in 2002, and I doubt that any of them will be a concern for usual
applications.

Otherwise, you'll need to find a store/site that sells older
software...watch out for illegal copies of such software.
