I have a need to operate both Access97 and 2002 on the same machine. Is there a way to make the two co-exist on the same machine?
To add to Doug's posting.
You may want to add explicit path and file names of the appropriate
versions of access to all the shortcuts. For example "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office 97\Office\msaccess.exe". Including the quotes
if you have any spaces in the path name which is very likely.
There are some programs out there which will automatically start the
appropriate version of Access.
One of those is ACCVER - Allows you to work with multiple versions of
MS Access databases. Detects the version of Access used to create your
MDB, MDE or MDA files and either reports the version number or starts
the appropriate version of MS Access.
