No, you can never run 2 versions of Outlook, no matter what version, on the
same OS partition. You can run them on separate Operating System partitions
without problems and share data as long as the file formats are the same,
however.

After furious head scratching, AA Smith asked:
| Is it possible to run Outlook 2003 and 2007 Beta 2 on the same
| computer provided I don't run them simultaneously? Or does Outlook
| 2007 mess up the outlook 2003 data files?
|

||| I have office 20003 installed on my box. I wish to preview next
||| version 2007. Can I install side by side 2007, keeping 2003....
|||
||| thanks
||
|| If you have the option to install Office 2007 Beta 2 on a test
|| machine I think that would be preferable.
||
|| I know that some people have Beta 2 running alongside Office 2003 but
|| there is always some risk involved. Of course, you won't be able to
|| run two versions of Outlook on one machine.
||
|| I haven't installed side by side yet, personally, but will probably
|| do so fairly soon, assuming that Beta 2 looks really stable during
|| initial testing on a test machine.
