[AccessD] Access 2007 / 2003 install shuffle

Arthur,  I installed Office 2003 first and nominated my own install
directory (I just put 2003 in the offered path).  Then rebooted etc. Then
opened and used Access - all was ok.

I then installed Office 2007 and installed to default path and told it to
use the new Outlook (I had previously exported my stuff as a precaution).

Then rebooted and use A2007- no problems.

Then exited and opened A2003  no problems.

Timings much in line with what JC posted.

After much bitter experience trying to run 2003 and 2007 on one box, I
eventually threw in the towel and now run each of them in its own VM (Sun
VirtualBox is the VM manager I happened to select). Even installing 2003 and
2007 in separate directories didn't work, at least for me. Windows 64-bit
and several VMs works very nicely.
