Hi;
For some reasons i need to have Access 2000 and Access XP on my Operating
System.I know there is no way to have both active on one OS,But is there a
way to have both,and one of them be active.And whenever i needed the
other,activate it?
Briefly,Do anyone knows a registry settings to deactivate one version and
activate the other,when both versions are installed?
Thank you in advance.

You can have as many versions of Access on your PC as you want. I have three
and have heard reports of others having more. You do have to deal with each one
taking over file registrations when you use them, but that is fairly easy to
work around.

While not an absolute requirement, it is generally recommended that you install
in version order, specify different folders, and make sure each subsequent
install does not "remove older versions".
 
Will Try it,Thank you.
