[AccessD] Installing Different Version of Access

I agree.  I'll be casting about for a solution.  Unfortunately they're in
North Dakota which is way too far from the beach for a casual drop in.

Rocky,

You have received some good answers to the technical question.

However, I would think twice about this.  Whereas it is common for
developers to need multiple versions of Access, in the client production
scenario this is seldom necessary or desirable.  Your customer has a
problem.  The problem needs to be solved.  Messing around with multiple
installations is not a good solution, IMHO.

Regards
Steve
