Hi Access gurus,
I am now using Microsoft Office 2000 on an XP machine. Any problem if I
upgrade MS Access 2000 to Access 2003, without upgrading the other parts of
Office?
 
i think that would be a silly idea

unless you're using access data projects of course

it just sounds too dangerous to mix and match DLLs like that

I've been running this configuration for six months. The only problem
(and only because I haven't taken the trouble to investigate it) is
that Outlook2000 won't automatically journal Access2003 database
activity.

Something that I do in the case of more than one generation of Office
applications on a machine is to give each generation its own folder
under Program Files.

There is a nifty utility from Fred Aylott, ACCVER, that will
flawlessly fire up the correct executable for the generation of the
MDB/MDE.

from what i've seen, 2000 and 2003 gen confused about which version to
open a file with

so i always put a shortcut to access 2000 and access 2003 in my sendto
directory-- on most windows boxes, start, run, sendto

(or right-click on the start button, explore and then up a single
folder above 'start menu')

I run Access 97, 2000 and 2003 on the same PC. No major problems (esp if
you install them in order of version, then you won't have to do any
"tricks" to get them to install).
