[AccessD] Installing Different Version of Access

Rocky, this is just a shot in the dark, but when you say he is getting
"blocked" is it just the security message where you have to click the bar
that appears across the top and then select the option to allow the software
to run.

The blocks I get on my laptop are:

1. A potential security concern has been identified.  (This is because I
reference an MDE in my code).  Solution "Click on Open"

2. a bar appears across the top saying "Security Warning    Certain content
in the database has been disabled with an Options Button.  Solution "Click
the options button and then select Enable Content"

So, it is not really blocked just irritating. I am using Vista with Officer
2007 installed but opening a 2003 mdb.  There may be ways to permanently
avoid these irritations but I do not know what they are.

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?
