[AccessD] Access 2002 and 97 on separate partitions

Yeah, I knew that.....but even installing 02K to different folders doesn't
eliminate all of the problems.  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.

Remember, I said *OXP* and 97.  Office XP installs in different folders than
earlier versions.

Really.  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>)

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.

Look in the knowledge base for dual installations.  It's easy to go 97 on
up, but going backwards requires some special stuff.

Hi All,
My PC is partitioned into two drives C: & D:  Access 2002 is installed on
the C: and I would like to install Access 97 on the D: drive so I get get
some decent Help back.  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.
TIA
Ed
