All versions use different registry settings, unless you're talking about something besides HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Office\<version number> and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\<version number>, and anyhow it depends on which problems you're talking about. If you're talking about HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.mdb, then whichever one you installed last will be referenced, but that only applies if you double click the mdb file.

Because it's not the folders, but the registry that's the issue. From what you are saying, it seems that OXP uses a completely different set of registry settings.

Office XP installs in different folders than earlier versions.

Well I wonder why, because 97 and 2k are notoriously bad about going the other direction (2k first, then 97). Hmmmmm.... Won't be the first time...or last for that matter, that I've been surprised by something MS did! <grin> (Although it will be the third time they did something right! (Building Access 97 being the first, building Windows 2000 the second! <grin>) Drew -----Original Message----- From: Charlotte Foust [mailto:cfoust at infostatsystems.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 2:55 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [AccessD] Access 2002 and 97 on separate partitions Actually, I've installed A97 after the fact on a machine with OXP installed, and it didn't cause any problems at all, unless you are referring to the file type associations. As soon as you've opened a database in one of the versions, it floats to the top anyhow, so that doesn't seem awfully important to me.

It's easy to go 97 on up, but going backwards requires some special stuff.

Since two different drives are involved I don't think I need to take any special precautions, am I correct here? I know you have to be careful when installing different versions on the same drive.
