Installing Outlook beta 2 - destroy earlier versions?

I have a PC with Office 97 and Office 2000 installed. I only really use the
MS Access elements of each Office version but they must stay on there.

If I install the Office 2003 beta, can I keep these earlier versions of MS
Access on there? I seem to recall that the beta CD doesn't make it so easy
to keep earlier Office versions on there. I am only looking to have Outlook
2003 from the Office 2003 beta. That is all my need.

Regards,

Jon
 
Ah, Wenchie - stayed out too late last night... again ? Tsk, tsk. <eg>

There is an Office System 2003 Beta to which most, if not all, MVPs have
been invited since last year as official Beta testers. 15 CDs in Beta 2 -
InfoPath, OneNote, etc. are new applications, plus the usual suspects.

To the original poster, you can perform a custom installation of Office
System 2003 and select to install only Outlook 2003. Everything else will
remain from your previous installation. Make sure you select Custom in the
install options, and "keep these programs" and check all of the programs you
want to keep.
