Run Office 2003 and Access xp

K

I have Office 2003 Suite installed on one computer while other computers are
running Office xp. The Access file saved from Access xp and then run from
Access 2003 sometimes appear some monir compatibility problems. Is it
possible to install the Access xp using a different program folder name to
the machine with office 2003? Can 2 different versions of Access be run on
the same machine?

Two versions of Access can be installed however the earliest version should
be installed first, updated, then the later version installed. Perhaps amend
the initial Access shortcut as it will be ovewritten by the later version.
The two particular versions you refer to will, by default, be installed into
Office, version specific, Folders.
eg Office2003 to Office11 folder
You might want to post to an Access specific ng and relate the
'compatibility probs' to see if they come up with anything as there is a
possibility it may be as a result of differing MDAC/Jet versions.
