Is installing both Access and Word 2003 and 2007 with O2K3 SP3 possible ?

[Gilles Vollant]

Hello,
before Office 2003 SP3, it was not possible install on the same Windows
setup both Access 2003 & 2007 and both Word 2003 & 2007
(but no problem to have both Excel 2003 and 2007)

Do you known if Office 2003 SP3 fix this problem?

Its allways been possible to install and access multiple versions of Office
& its components, excepting only a single version of Outlook
Prior to Office2002 one had to custom install to a specific location, since
then all install to a version specific folder, eg Office10 / 11 / 12

If you install, before Office 2003 SP3 both Office 2003 and 2007, here is
the situation :
- you can have only one Outlook. I understand that, no problem.
- you can select between (by example) Powerpoint 2003 and 2007, Excel 2003
and 2007 each time you start an apps without problem.

BUT there is a Word and Access problem :
each time you start a version of Word or a version of Acces which is not the
latest you start, you have an "setup" dialog box which take a lot of time
(more than 1 minute often). So it is very difficult using both version on
the same Windows setup. :-(

Well all I can say is that untill recently I ran multiple versions of Access
without such a problem
