[AccessD] OT: Modify Office folder name without re-Installing

Patti,

I don't know how you can rename the existing folders, but you can change the
directory where the new version goes.  I have Access 97, Access 2000, Office
XP, and Office 2003 on my system at home.  When I installed office 2003, I
changed the default directory from ...\Microsoft Office\ (or whatever it is)
to ...\MS Office 2003\.  That lets the different versions all work well
together.

Bobby

Subject: [AccessD] OT: Modify Office folder name without re-Installing


HI all
I am asking this list cause I can't get a straight answer from work and
they just want me to delete all older access versions shich I can't do
right now. 

Is there a way to just change the folder where microsoft office is
without re-installing that version?   

Right now I have Access 97 from Office 97 is in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office 97\Office.  

Of course I wasn't around the day when they installed the Office 2000
(all) version and they put it into  C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office. They did not install this version well at all. I have
been having quite a few problems with missing parts.  

We were supposed to be loading Office 2003 on my machine last week but
can't figure out how to load it without deleting all the earlier
versions (don't ask). I am trying to get them to just give me the disks
so I can install it myself with no extra problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.    
Thanks
Patti
