[AccessD] Older Access install with A2K3

Gotta love clients. I told them I am building in XP 2K3. Now
they do not want to buy either.

I really do not want to rebuild my hard drive for them.

Possibly, but more likely than not, you are going to have
problems.

Your best bet is to uninstall O2K3, install A2K and then
reinstall O2K3.

I tried to do it backwards with O2K and A97 and spent 2 days
trying to
fix it. I ended up having to uninstall both, cleaning out
the registry
(manually) and then reinstalling A97 and then O2K

A royal PITA it was.
