[AccessD] A2007 from Dell(!)

Not sure what your implication is here, Don.  If you mean how incredible 
it is that Microsoft provide at all for side by side installation of 
different versions of the same program, then I would agree with you.  If 
you are talking about the extreme lengths that Microsoft go to to 
maximise version compatibility (including backward compatibility), to a 
degree unheard of in most other parts of the software industry, I would 
agree with you.

Of course, the requirement for users to have more than one version of 
the same application installed side by side is a very unusual one.  And 
the technicalities of switching versions on the fly are complex and 
difficult.  In fact, that small group of computer users who call 
themselves Access developers probably want this facility in greater 
numbers than anyone else.  So I say, let's count our lucky stars.

Regards
Steve
