2007 co existing with 2003

[Bob]

I have both Access2007 & Access2003 on a Vista Ultimate machine.
If I open 2007 after having a 2003 .adp open, the 2007 configuration runs.
Same going the other way. After working in 2007, if I open a 2003 .adp,
the 2003 configuration runs.

How can I make them co exist without the ongoing configs.

Thanks in advance,
bob.

This problem is well known and is also happening with the opening of a MDB
file, not only with ADP. I have yet to see a fix for it. For more info,

you should put a shortcut to access 2003 and access 2007 in your sendto
directory, and then when you need to change your default; rightclick sendto
Access 2007.. then if you want to change the default again right click in
windows explore and sendto Access 2003

Sylvain, Do you know of any targeted date that Microsoft plans to have
a fix for this?

tia,
bob.

Sorry, I do not know of any targeted date from MS. In fact, I won't be
surprised at all if this never got corrected.

If you have a powerful enough machine, you could use something like SVS from
Altiris Juice (http://juice.altiris.com/svs ) or VPC 2007 to circumvent this
kind of problem.

Thanks Sylvain.
I will explore the virtual PC route.
thanks again,
