That's what I would do but it's probably not an option for this client.
They're getting blocked opening the back end on their server.  2003 works OK
on other machines.  2007 no.  I had him try to open the BE directly on his
machine in O2007 and got some kind of lock error message from O2007.  So I
asked him if loading O2003 on his machine was an option.  He thinks so, but
would like to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling O2007.

I would download the free version of Virtual PC and install 2003 on a
virtual compter.  No hassle with the security, windows opening to reinstall
stuff, and all the other crap that you deal with when you have several
recent versions on the same machine.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Dear List:

In the past if you wanted to run multiple versions of Office on the same
machine, popular wisdom said to install earliest to latest.  

Is this still true for O2007?  

I have a user who has O2007 installed and wants to run Access 2003 on the
same machine.  Does he still have to uninstall O2007, install O2003 and then
re-install )2007, or can 3 be installed after 7 without breaking anything?
